About this event

Join us on Saturday 3 July 2021 (3pm-6.30pm BST) for ‘Women, Tech and the Global Good’, a virtual conference brought to you by The Women in International Affairs Network in collaboration with IBM and Seidea.

Technology has become a crucial ally in international development and provides an opportunity for global development professionals to maximise their impact. Tech platforms can help tracking and analysing funding for the SDGs, with blockchain technology revolutionising the impact investing sector by converting non-financial value such as impact into digital tokens that can be tracked. Technological and innovative approaches to M&E, such as human centred design and real-time M&E can help to enhance the system efficiency and accuracy of programme evaluations.

The event will combine a series of presentations with speakers from tech and innovation sectors who are seeking to achieve global change, with interactive workshops in areas such as human centred design, coding, and cybersecurity.…
