Great conversation with @AngelaLudek early this morning. Technology is not neutral; we must be intentional about the meaningful inclusion of women and other marginalized populations in digital technologies. Check out @GDInclusion's Beyond Resilience report globaldigitalinclusion.org/2…

Digital inclusion isn’t a “nice-to-have” - it’s an economic imperative.
Our report shows low- & middle-income countries have already lost $1.2T in GDP due to the gender digital divide, with $511B more at risk by 2030.

📱🇿🇦 Big win for consumers in South Africa.
After years of advocacy, the regulator has taken a bold (and long-overdue) stand: mobile data should not expire just because time has passed.

📊 Our research shows that not every byte is equal.
Pricing structures - not just headline costs - determine who can truly benefit from digital access.

✨A long time coming. A big step forward.
Proof that evidence-based advocacy works - and that smart regulation can keep people connected, informed, and economically active.
