GAP III Briefing note n. 5 Digital4GenderEquality: How to develop gender- transformative digital programmes

This briefing note follows the adoption of the Gender Action Plan (GAP) III on 25 November 2020, including the accompanying joint Staff Working Document, SWD(2020) 284 final. Addressing specific challenges and opportunities for gender equality offered by the digital transformation is among the key areas of engagement of the GAP III (see GAP III p. 19-20 and SWD p. 31-33).

The briefing note aims to provide guidance to colleagues in INTPA geographical and thematic units and in EU delegations on how to design actions in the digital arena – across all modalities and investment frameworks, and in political and policy dialogue – that contribute directly to promoting and supporting gender equality and women’s and girls’ rights and empowerment.
