things have altered the world as much as the digitalisation of our global communities. The COVID-19 pandemic showed us how essential it is to have access to digital tools and how crucial systems-building is when we digitalise our societies. It is easy for many in the well connected cities of the world to assume that the right and access to digitalisation is enjoyed by everyone. This is far from the truth, even in these cities themselves. It is therefore essential to consider how we can achieve digital equity everywhere.<\/p>\n<p>While it is true that the rapid\u00a0 speed at which we are innovating and progressing digitalisation is mind boggling, we must not forget that currently, digitalisation itself impacts on climate, or that 34% of world population are still not online.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div><div class=\"et_d4_element et_pb_column_1_2 et_pb_column et_pb_column_4  et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode et-last-child et_block_column\">\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"et_pb_module et_d4_element et_pb_text et_pb_text_6  et_pb_text_align_left et_pb_bg_layout_light\">\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><p>Digital economies open up oportunities for groups of people who have lacked access to opportunities in the job market, but digital skillsbuilding and training needs to be expanded and the step into work for women in STEAM is still steep.<\/p>\n<p>So how is SPIDER adding value? We bring people together to focus on digitalisation as a tool for human centered digitalisation, we support national development plans that are led by the people in the country and we make sure that all our work is informed by evidence gathered by local research institutions and experts.
