Solve IT is a national innovation competition run across Ethiopia, with the main goal of decentralizing technology in order to build a tech-savvy community and promote the use of technology as a tool for social change and development. As its name implies, Solve IT focuses on local solutions to local problems. Beginning in 2018, we've had a lasting impact on youth in various regions of Ethiopia over the past years.
