Koforidua (E/R) May 23, GNA – BlueTown – Ghana under the Women’s Meaningful Access Project has organised a four – day digitised-based training for women in the New Juaben Municipality in the Eastern Region.

The workshop, with focus on entrepreneurship, aimed to address the gender digital divide through bringing meaningful connectivity and internet access to more women in the area.

About 60 female participants drawn from various government institutions, tertiary and vocational schools were trained on how to develop Resume, Curriculum Vitae (CV) and learn job search using online and digital tools.

Ms Priscilla Paulina Tettegah, Digital Trainer for BlueTown – Women’s Meaningful Access Project, said technology was advancing in today’s economy, where everything was going digital therefore there was the need to close the big gap between women and technology.

The training workshop was organised in collaboration with Microsoft Airband, United States Agency for International Development (USAID), Ghana Investment Fund for Electronic Communication (GIFEC) and Circumspecte.

Miss Peace Delali, Digital Trainer for BlueTown – USAID Women’s Meaningful Access Project, encouraged women to take advantage of such training programmes to be able to build and empower themselves.

“There is a saying that: “the future is female,” and I believe if we us women empower ourselves with the right skills there would be the equality we are looking for” she said.

Madam Ann Fesu, Project Manager for the Bluetown – USAID Women’s Meaningful Access Project, highlighted the impact of the project and said it had been able to create a pipeline that was bridging the digital gender gap by concentrating on the root causes, especially in the rural areas.

The training was developed on three angles: Access to Internet, Access to Digital Financial Services and Digital Capacity Building for women in Koforidua and Kyebi whiles over 2,500 women had benefited.

Ms Mary Bright – Kwofie, a participant, thanked the organisers of the workshop and said the training had equipped her with the skills to use social media platforms to promote her “shito” production.
