Connecting to Lead : Breaking the Gendered Digital Divide

The objective was to connect AGYW leaders and the communities they lead across 3 countries Zambia, Zimbabwe and Malawi to co-create solutions on improved and sustained digital advocacy. 15 girls across the 3 countries who lead community based organisations who are part of the DAWA network were trained in digital advocacy, feminist movement building and resilience. The 15 young women further collaborated in the development of a toolkit, which seeks to support AGYW on effectively engaging in digital advocacy the new normal ushered in by the COVID 19 pandemic.The project also sought to demonstrate that AGYW if supported with right information, adequate resources and capacity have the ability to mobilise their constituencies, co-create tools that work for them and engage effectively.
