Bridging the Digital Gender Gap – ICT4Ag Working Group Webinar
2018-02-28 15:00 - 16:00 (Europe/Helsinki)
ICTs Can Empower Rural Women in Your Agricultural Project – Learn How!
We’re all aware of the tremendous opportunities that ICTs offer to agriculture. In the reality of our agricultural projects, however, we witness that technology-driven advances are rather incremental and the benefits are often reaped unequally. Especially in terms of gender, there’s clearly a huge gap when it comes to access to ICTs and using them in rural areas.
This is agonizing. Digitally illiterate female farmers could certainly benefit greatly from agricultural projects providing them with interfaces that are adapted so that they can use them – as long as it’s culturally appropriate.

Globally, women use the internet 12% less than men. In Africa, it’s 25%. While the gender gap has narrowed in most regions since 2013, it has widened in Africa!
(International Telecommunication Union)

What will be your takeaway?
Franziska Kreische of the research institute betterplace lab has gained substantial experience while working with development projects in Uganda. In the webinar, she’ll speak about how rural women can be enabled and encouraged to use ICT components.
There’re many lessons to be learned, applicable to other projects. In particular, Franziska will present Briding the Digital Gender Gap, a new survey of betterplace, and we will also hear about Women Plant Doctors 2.0 – a GIZ project in Tunisia with a tight focus on empowering women.
Is this relevant to you?
This webinar is designed for project staff and decision makers in agricultural projects who want to crank up women’s involvement – who are considering to develop new ICT components or wish to prop up already existing ones.
You already have tons of questions that you would like to ask Franziska Kreische?
Kindly send your questions to julia.bayer@giz.de prior to the webinar. We’ll make sure that Franziska covers your points in her presentation, or we’ll get to them during the Q&A part of the session!
How to join
The webinar is conducted online via Skype4Buisness. Contact the organisers to receive the logins.
Please feel free to forward the invite to others.

Smart Investments, Big Returns: How Understanding Financial Data Can Transform Nutrition
2018-02-27 15:00 - 16:30 (Europe/Berlin) | Online event
Learning from country experiences collecting and using budget data to improve their nutrition programs
Current estimates suggest that current funding is not sufficient to address malnutrition. Part of the difficulty in securing the funding needed to tackle malnutrition is a lack of how much funding has already been allocated to nutrition and how much and where the funding gaps are.
A number of countries have embarked on nutrition budget analysis exercises, designed to identify available funding, highlight existing gaps in funding, and advocate for smarter investments in nutrition. Nearly 20 countries have completed this work, often through a framework provided by the Scaling Up Nutrition Movement. SPRING’s interviews with representatives from 11 of these countries illustrated the complexities inherent in sharing these findings and the potential benefits from collecting and sharing data on a topic that is known best for the lack of information available.
Join SPRING for a webinar to learn more about the ways in which countries have used findings from nutrition budget analysis activities to identify and coordinate nutrition across sectors, advocate for increased funding for nutrition, and manage the use of nutrition funds. In this webinar, we will hear directly from country practitioners about their experiences, including their activities, tools, briefs, and graphs used.
Speakers

Gwyneth Cotes | SPRING, Director of Global Initiatives
Jovita Sandaite | Action Against Hunger (ACF) of Sierra Leone, Advocacy Expert
Hugh Bagnall-Oakeley | Save the Children, Senior Hunger Policy Adviser
