This is just a snippet of what we do with Women and the Digital Economy in Tanzania. #WanawakeNaDijitali is a linking platform to in demand digital skills, opportunities in the digital economy, digital solutions, and supporting with onboarding of women entrepreneurs onto e-commerce platforms.
Our work is convening, facilitating, capacitating, amplifying and supporting Women and meaningful use of Technolocy.
In addition to the #WanawakeNaDijitali Forum and Marketplace, we also have The Tanzania Women and Technology Conference held every year during women’s history month. This is the high level conversation one would aspire to have on policy, ecosystem and everything Women and Technology from opportunities, to challenges and areas for partnerships and resource mobilization. Launched in 2023 with support from the Ministry of ICT, we are honoured to have held two very successful conferences and very much look forward to the 2025 edition as we get ready to release another documentary on the overview of Women and Technology in Tanzania, drawing on progress made since we released our first documentary in 2023.
We were then challenged to do more to support Women led tech/digital solutions, and so we launched the SheTech Incubator and Accelerator Program(and oh my acceleration has truly been a challenge, will write about this one 😩) but yeeeey, we learn and we move and now we have our second co-hort incubating more than 10 young women aged 21-27.
We are also cognizant of how gender norms and societal beliefs and practices have intentionally and unintentionally excluded young girls from even dreaming about the digital world, so together with the Tanzania Institute of Education, we have launched digital skills clubs at primary and secondary schools across Tanzania. National roll out will be this January 2025 - talk about ‘catching them early’.
And of course keeping and supporting women to stay safe online remains our priority, and we continue to develop mechanisms and improve our reporting helpline infrastructure for OGBV, TFGBV and Psychosocial Safety.
Yes, we are all about Women’s Digital Inclusion. 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾 #TechWomenTz cc LP Digital
