The workshop, Innovate for Impact connects civil society organisations (CSO) promoting women's empowerment with ICT tools to build social enterprises and make a difference at the grassroots level. To help address low female labour force participation, CSOs can promote and advocate for women to access part time work, maternity leave and child care services in an effort to eliminate associated stigma. Also CSOs can help girls to identify and develop careers of their choice from an early age regardless of gender norms and restrictions and provide access to job information and placement services. The two day workshop provided opportunities for CSO participants to network and brainstorm possible ICT solutions integrated within existing projects.
