Accra, June 10, GNA – The countdown begins to the “Access to Agency: Empowering Women Through Digital Inclusion” international conference that promises to reshape how we think about digital inclusion
and women’s empowerment in low-and-middle income countries.
On July 2nd and 3rd, 2025, Accra, Ghana will host the Access to Agency: Empowering Women Through Digital Inclusion conference, jointly convened by the BRAC Institute of Governance and Development (BIGD) and Innovations for Poverty Action (IPA).
BIGD’s deep expertise in digital connectivity pathways—demonstrated by the WEE-DiFine and WEE Connect Initiatives —combines with IPA’s global and local research network and evidence-based approach to create a powerful convergence of expertise, innovation, and urgent necessity to address a pressing development challenge – digital inclusion and women’s empowerment.
As one of Africa’s most digitally progressive countries, Ghana has made significant strides in mobile connectivity and digital financial services. However, the gender gap in digital access remains pronounced, mirroring patterns across SSA.
