Partners: University of Cape Town, Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health
Background
The ability to monitor trends in the access to mobile devices and digital technologies is vital for designing effective digital solutions for women in low- and middle-income countries and for understanding the impact these solutions have on development outcomes. The Gender x Digital hub (LEAD at Krea University/IFMR), the University of Cape Town and Johns Hopkins University are organising a workshop to strengthen existing measurement frameworks for digital access in India and foster cross-sector collaboration. This workshop builds on two workshops held in 2023 and aims to improve the standardisation of metrics for measuring digital access in India and globally. The workshop also brings together GxD hub’s partners working on advancing digital inclusion in India.
About GxD hub
Established in early 2024, the GxD hub is a cross-disciplinary platform dedicated to advancing meaningful digital connectivity among women and girls. Housed at LEAD, the hub will serve as a catalyst for gender-intentional digital solutions and policies with ecosystem partners, through programmatic partnerships and joint research projects.
