Digital tools like apps and online platforms are often promoted as a way to expand women’s economic opportunities, but access alone rarely translates into lasting engagement or economic gains. The most effective interventions are those designed around women’s specific constraints—such as mobility, caregiving responsibilities, and job preferences—rather than relying on technology alone. In VoxDev, IPA’s Daniela Graney (Program Manager, Entrepreneurship & Private Sector Development) and Savanna Henderson (Associate Program Manager, Social Protection) share learnings from their evidence review synthesizing rigorous evidence on how digital technologies can be leveraged to deliver and enhance skills development for women’s economic empowerment.
