Launched by Orange in 2015 the m-Women programme promotes women’s self-sufficiency through the use of digital technology offering essential services tailored to their needs, with support from local stakeholders. Digital inclusion for women aims to boost their contribution to sustained social and economic growth.In Africa, women are the core of the family. Women manage most aspects of everyday life, from healthcare to food, agriculture, schooling, management of the family finances, and trading. Regardless of their status they are an essential part of the social apparatus. This is why the digital inclusion of these millions of informal “micro-entrepreneurs” constitutes a formidable growth driver for social and economic development. Providing women with access to the essential services that will facilitate and improve their daily lives through an ordinary mobile phone is part of a broader approach driving progress and shared value-creation. Activities : challenges on ICT, leadership and self confidence workshop, road show. Objectives : 20% of women in Senegal use digital to improve their activities
