Local solutions to enable women farmers to access the global digital economy and achieve their full potential
How can we better deliver digital programs and services to women, and help them reach their business goals?
From basic literacy to owning a mobile phone, the lack of access to training and infrastructure present many barriers to digital inclusion for women. Behavioral change models, and a commitment to adapting technologies to local needs and cultural differences can allow us to make technologies gender sensitive.
This session at ICTforAg 2022 co-created by Hand in Hand looked at practical, local solutions to enable the better delivery of digital programs so that low income women farmers can access the global digital economy.
