Gabon: 1 Computer for 1 Student, a Vision for the Future

On 18 October 2025, Gabon took a decisive step towards digital inclusion with the official launch of the presidential programme "1 student, 1 computer". An ambitious initiative that places young people at the heart of the country's digital transformation.

A political vision turned towards innovation

This programme is part of a series of strategic actions carried out by the Gabonese authorities to modernise education, stimulate entrepreneurship and reduce the digital divide. The goal is clear: to give every young person the means to create, learn and undertake in an increasingly connected world.

Who are the beneficiaries?

The first phase of the programme provides for the distribution of 10,000 Lenovo computers to a diverse range of profiles:

• 5,013 students from public and private universities
• 2,634 baccalaureate graduates of the class of 2025
• 1,806 final-year high school students
• 100 young entrepreneurs
• 100 digital influencers
• 100 students with disabilities

This inclusive approach values academic performance, civic engagement and digital creativity alike.

An equitable distribution across the territory

To guarantee national coverage, 200 computers are allocated to each province of Gabon, rewarding the best pupils and promoting territorial equity.

Synergy with other programmes

This project fits in with other presidential initiatives such as Taxi Gab, Gab Pêche, and the Bank for Commerce and Entrepreneurship, outlining a coherent strategy for local development and youth empowerment.
