With the support of the Digital Development Partnership, administered by the World Bank, and the EQUALS Global Partnership Access Coalition, Trickle Up teamed up with AVSI Uganda to test two approaches for women’s digital literacy and inclusion.

With the pilot, they sought to increase women’s agency, ownership and usage of smartphones to power economic and social inclusion.
