The Digital Inclusion Working Group of G20 EMPOWER recognizes that digital inclusion is a multi-dimensional issue that requires a comprehensive approach. Along the same lines, the working group aims to bridge the digital divide by developing an all-in-one “Digital Fluency Platform” that fosters digital access, skills, and opportunities for every woman across the globe. The platform is dedicated to addressing the challenges and opportunities associated with digital inclusion on a global scale. As technology becomes increasingly pervasive, it is essential to ensure that no one is left behind in the digital revolution, and the platform is aimed to empower women, by providing accessible and comprehensive training programs, resources, and support for women, on digital literacy, digital financial literacy, and technical upskilling. With a focus on practical, hands-on training, the platform will equip women with the digital skills needed to thrive in today's digital world, the “Digital Fluency Platform, will focus on basic digital, technical and digital financial training, drawing from different sources for content and courses. The primary objective of this platform is to ensure that no woman is held back due to a lack of access to or knowledge of digital literacy, resultantly helping women accelerate their career growth and achieve economic independence.
