@GrameenFdn In 2019 let’s be more intentional in the use of data to meet women’s needs, not generic needs. Dispel the myth that data mean gender neutral. #HerBreakthrough @GrameenFdn

[Lauren Hendricks @LHendricksGF]

@dakporticpower @GrameenFdn Agree!! Digitizing their data makes them visible, gives female small holder farmers economic identity-which leads to access to finance, markets, etc. @GrameenFdn @TaroWorksApp #HerBreakthrough

@GrameenFdn The need for protection is the same if you are a rural women in Benin or a tech savvy shopper is the U.U. #HerBreakthrough @GrameenFdn

@GrameenFdn Special thanks to @CiscoCSR for its support of TaroWorks, which puts tech tools in the hands of female field agents to benefit poor rural women. #HerBreakthrough @GrameenFdn @TaroWorksApp

[Lauren Hendricks @LHendricksGF]

@GrameenFdn Consider decision making dynamics within households. Gender dialogues like those we use in Burkina Faso can help facilitate intra-household discussions. #HerBreakthrough @GrameenFdn

[Lauren Hendricks @LHendricksGF]

@GrameenFdn A6. As one women told me in rural Kenya, “just put it on my phone and I’ll figure out how and when to use it”. Let’s work less on preparation and more on getting tech in girls hands! #HerBreakthrough @GrameenFdn

@GrameenFdn We also need to address gender biases around the use of technology. Unlike my own teenage daughters, in developing countries adolescent girls often have little access to tech.

[Lauren Hendricks @LHendricksGF]

@CiscoCSR @GrameenFdn We also know technologies like AI can have inherent gender bias. We need more women designing tools for women!!#HerBreakthrough @GrameenFdn

[Lauren Hendricks @LHendricksGF]

@GrameenFdn Research shows that women who own phones make more frequent deposits than women who borrow phones. How do we get more phones in the hands of rural at?#HerBreakthrough @GrameenFdn

[Lauren Hendricks @LHendricksGF]

@CiscoCSR @GrameenFdn So important to design products based an data and analytics. And to understand who is left out and why!! #HerBreakthrough @GrameenFdn

@GrameenFdn In Ghana we are using farmers data to develop customized farm management plans. The program has a special focus on women!! #HerBreakthrough @GrameenFdn

[Lauren Hendricks @LHendricksGF]
