Last month, Ushahidi’s Rhoda Omenya and Laura Mugeha joined Africa’s civic tech changemakers at the Civic Tech Innovation Forum (CTIF) by Civic Tech Innovation Network in Johannesburg, South Africa. This year’s theme, #UnderTheHood, called on us to dig deeper into what powers civic tech: ✅Technology: How do we build tools that are transparent, equitable, and shaped by Africa’s needs—not just its markets? ✅Community: What happens when we trust local creativity and strength to drive sustainable change? ✅Self: How do our individual talents and passions fuel collective action for a better future? It was a space for honest conversations, practical solutions, and inspiring collaborations—exactly what civic tech needs to thrive. In sessions dubbed "#𝐔𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐇𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐨𝐟 𝐃𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐜𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐲 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐆𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞: 𝐀𝐫𝐞 𝐖𝐞 𝐌𝐚𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐀𝐧𝐲 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬?", the forum attendees took part in joint conversation and workshops, exploring new ideas that inspire a better, more transparent future for civic tech in Africa.

The UK and European tech sector has seen an increase in women in the workforce since BCSWomen was founded a few decades ago. There have been women in computing from the beginning - working on LEO and at Bletchley Park Trust in 1930s and 1940s. We know that with women like Dame Stephanie Shirley, Dame Wendy Hall, and Professor Sue Black OBE, Hannah Dee and so many others we have role models. And thanks to events like the Lovelace Symposium, I know there is talent pipeline. When Dame Stephanie founded her software business (1959), there was little opportunity for women to run any type of business. The commercial banking offers have improved considerably! But transactional banking isn’t the only financial option founders need. There is still some suggestions that, ‘women don’t want to be in tech - if they did, they would be’. If all things were equal, that might be interesting to evaluate. However, part of the reason that there aren’t so many women founders is (not a lack of desire or grit but) inequality of access to business funding. In Ireland, 75% of VC (venture capital) funding goes to all-men teams. The funders seem to be inadvertently selecting out women - or at least tolerating founders who don’t include women in their teams. Hearing repeated Silicon Valley stories of female founders invited to pitch in hot tubs or in casinos bars, I’m not surprised. For women founders in tech to achieve parity, it is time there was a challenge for VCs to find places where women founders can pitch with equity. And this stuff matters to the economy because the statistics for women on boards suggest businesses are more successful with a diverse board. The same is true in tech problem solving - diversity of backgrounds can hone products and services to be better for all. There is an opportunity to find out more in Dublin this May. At the Dublin Tech Summit 2024, the TechFoundHer team will be presenting more about: - why we need more women tech founders for our economy, society and the world. - why transparency of gendered data in business is needed to support positive change for everyone. Explore the latest in tech and business together with tickets to the summit on 29-30 May 2024 at the RDS in Dublin. https://lnkd.in/eK7EMe_Z #DubTechSummit  #TechFoundHer #vcfunding #vc #techentrepreneur #womanownedbusiness #womeninstem
