Historique
Background
UN Women, grounded in the vision of equality enshrined in the Charter of the United Nations, works for the elimination of discrimination against women and girls; the empowerment of women; and the achievement of equality between women and men as partners and beneficiaries of development, human rights, humanitarian action and peace and security.
A key area of concern for UN Women is women’s economic empowerment as expressed in UN Women’s Strategic Plan 2018-2021. Empowering women to participate fully in economic life is essential to building strong economies, establishing just societies, and achieving the 2030 Agenda including Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 5 for gender equality and women’s empowerment and several other SDGs relating to inclusive growth, decent work, ending poverty, and reducing inequality, and revitalizing the global partnership for sustainable development. Ensuring women’s participation and leadership and inclusion of their needs, experiences, and skills in the economy requires intentional actions and commitments from both the public and the private sector.
The Together Digital Programme The programme aims to support women entrepreneurs (in MSMEs) in China and Indonesia to establish, maintain and expand their businesses through training, support services and knowledge exchange opportunities. The programme also will have a cross-cutting regional alliance of champions and thought leaders from technology and innovation sector, which is established to facilitate knowledge exchange, skills transfer, and mentorship opportunities in promotion of digital empowerment of women entrepreneurs. The programme is funded by Ant Foundation. The overall objective of the programme is that women-owned SMEs and entrepreneurs have increased capacities and access to markets and financial services including technology based, for start-up and building resilient business. In Indonesia, the programme will focus on capacity building on gender responsive entrepreneurship skills, including on digital skills, and facilitate women entrepreneurs to gain access to funding and market. The target is to equip 2500 women in Indonesia with gender responsive entrepreneurship and digital skills and 500 out of 2500 women will get access to funding. |
