Here\u2019s why:<\/p>\n<p>Over 300 million fewer women access the internet in low-and-middle-income countries than men. This divide has persisted and is in fact widening. Barriers to digital equality are linked, among other factors, to availability of infrastructure, financial constraints, interest and perceived relevance of digital technologies, and socio-cultural and institutional contexts.<\/p>\n<p>World Bank will reward scalable, innovative technological solutions that seek to empower women in four areas:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Platforms<\/strong>: Solutions that increase the availability of locally relevant digital platforms catering to women. For example, local marketplaces and solutions building online communities for women.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Digital skills<\/strong>: Solutions that support the development of digital skills by women and girls. For example, applications that use personalized and adaptive learning to teach basic, intermediate or advanced digital skills.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Online content<\/strong>: Solutions that increase the availability of women-oriented content. For example, locally relevant content on reproductive health or to combat gender-based violence.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Enhancing digital access<\/strong>: Solutions that focus on innovative business models that make it easier for women to access and use digital technologies and enable the use of digital identification, such as pay-as-you-go and other models that promote women\u2019s sustained use of mobile internet.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Benefits<\/p>\n<p><strong>Winners will<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Receive recognition and brand visibility at\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ces.tech\/\">CES 2021<\/a>\u00a0as a Global Tech Challenge winner.<\/li>\n<li>Engage with governments and World Bank Group teams to potentially scale their solutions within development projects.<\/li>\n<li>Access mentorship from technology companies and World Bank leaders to help scale their solutions.<\/li>\n<li>Share their stories at multiple international fora such as CES 2021, regional conferences, and the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.worldbank.org\/en\/meetings\/splash\">World Bank Group\u2019s Spring and Annual Meetings<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>Build their professional networks and raise their international profile and brand.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>For More Information:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.worldbank.org\/en\/topic\/digitaldevelopment\/brief\/global-tech-challenge-solutions-for-women-shetheuser?cid=ECR_FBI_worldbank_EN_EXTP&amp;\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Visit the Official Webpage of the World Bank 2020 Global Tech Challenge (opens in a new tab)\">Visit the Official Webpage of the World Bank 2020 Global Tech Challenge<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Application Deadline: April 15th, 2020<\/p>\n<p>However, if you have any feelings regarding the <strong><b>World Bank\/CES<\/b><\/strong><strong>,\u00a0<\/strong>Please kindly drop A COMMENT below and we will respond to it as soon as possible.<\/p>\n<p><strong>?Be Social \u2764 By Sharing this post with others!!??<\/strong><\/p>\n<div style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;\" class=\"sharethis-inline-share-buttons\" ><\/div><div class=\"aa-end\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>World Bank\/CES application form | All Eligible and Interested applicants &hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":20864,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[13],"tags":[41343,41342],"class_list":["post-20851","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-opportunities","tag-world-bank","tag-world-bank-ces-2020"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.5 -
