The Next Frontier: Transforming Economies for Gender Equality in the Digital Age

The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) will host a high-level side event during CSW67 to reflect on how to tap digital innovation’s potential as a driver for more inclusive and gender equal economies. This high-level side event will bring together UNDP, feminist thinkers, government representatives, philanthropies, and CSOs as well as other key actors across the digital ecosystem to highlight why digital innovation is essential for the transformation of economies that work for gender equality and women’s empowerment in line with the aspirations of the 2030 Agenda. The session will showcase and discuss UNDP’s experience bringing digital innovation to design solutions to address the burden of women’s unpaid care work. Partners will reflect on challenges and opportunities and will provide insights and inspiration from both a policy and solutions perspective.

It will also showcase UNDP’s experience in bringing digital innovation to the design of solutions that address the burden of unpaid care women bear, featuring a Care Geo-referencing Tool that helped to revamp the care system in Bogota City, Colombia. This tool has been piloted in Uruguay, Argentina, Dominican Republic, and Peru
