Call for Applications–Digital ChangeMakers for Women Entrepreneurs

Applications are open for the Digital ChangeMakers for Women Entrepreneurs. This application is meant for early-stage innovators with a gender-responsive focus who’re able to develop and check digital options tailor-made to women-led micro-enterprises in Ghana’s casual sector. While digital improvements are quickly remodeling enterprise ecosystems, women-led micro-enterprises—particularly in peri-urban areas—face vital challenges in accessing and adopting these applied sciences. This program goals to shut that hole by selling inclusive, regionally tailored digital options.
