On Friday, GoodFX hosted a lively roundtable discussion as part of our #ProjectHecuba, an initiative aimed at advancing female inclusion within digital training programmes in Kenya. Voices from Na'amal, Learning Lions, Development Dynamics | B Corp, AimHire and GoodFX led the discussion into the challenges and strategies surrounding this subject. Some of our key takeaways included: 🔹The associated difficulties of achieving an equal participation rate from women and men in different fields, especially in STEM 🔹The cruciality of involving men in the conversation promoting equality; emphasising the benefits of gender equality efforts for everyone 🔹The importance of donor coordination in navigating preferences for female inclusion initiatives when individual parties will have individual preferences and thoughts on how to implement positive bias 🔹Dedication to creating an environment which supports and uplifts women in a non-judgemental way and respects cultural differences A huge thank you to Nova Arkney, Phelsia Kojwang, June Helderle, Sonia Cătinean, Robert Hayward, and Gezana Rai for participating. We will be implementing these learnings in the upcoming training programme. These findings will join our extensive field and desk research to go into a comprehensive research report on this subject - please leave a comment if this is something you'd be interested in receiving once published!🌟 #ProjectHecuba #ResilientPeople

Despite the potential, significant obstacles remain—from acquiring advanced skills to accessing paid opportunities and unlocking capital for digital livelihoods. This article highlights innovative models like impact sourcing and refugee lens investing that can bridge these gaps and create inclusive online economies.
