3 Conclusions

It has been six years since the launch of the Digital Literacy Campaign. The number of women benefitting
from ITU’s and TCF’s efforts are increasing every day. Given the significant strides that this campaign has
managed to make in less than a decade, it would be advantageous to continue it and collaborate directly
with national governments (especially in developing countries) to ensure that women are equipped with
basic knowledge of technologies not only for basic digital literacy but also to advance in respective careers in
keeping with SDG5.
