IN THE NEWS: Global Digital Inclusion Partnership Executive Director Sonia Jorge @SoniaJorgeICT4D spoke with Devex on #MeaningfulConnectivity and closing the digital divide. https://www.devex.com/news/why-is-it-so-hard-to-close-the-digital-divide-104564

The digital divide—between the world’s rich and poor nations—remains staggeringly wide.

For over 2.7 billion people, many of them living in developing and least developed countries, #MeaningfulConnectivity remains elusive.

GDIP is laser-focused on ensuring that meaningful access is a reality for the global majority, especially focusing on women and girls, and rural and marginalized population groups. https://www.ipsnews.net/2022/12/digital-divide-africa-least-connected-60-percent-population-offline/

We have #MeaningfulConnectivity when…

🗓 We can use the internet every day
📱 With an appropriate device
🌐 Enough data
⚡️ And a fast connection.

🗣 It’s time to unlock the full power of internet access for everyone. https://globaldigitalinclusion.org/home/#past-projects

Let's celebrate the first annual P2C conference! 🎉
Join us at 4pm (CET) as the new #Partner2Connect pledges are announced and discover the progress made so far to advance a global #DigitalTransformation and establish universal #MeaningfulConnectivity
👉 http://itu.int/go/P2C22

As of 2022, 2.7 billion people out of nearly 8 billion globally are offline; the number is much higher if we consider those who already have basic access but are not meaningfully connected.

Not that it was a necessary development to find myself an instance, where I have 2222 characters to use- but I appreciate the extra space that I can now fill with useless words and repetitive airy phrases, all while I am trying to impress with my punctuation skills, that, I have to admit, are causing me some trouble still, as I am a non native english toot-er.

If you did arrive at reading this line please leave me a comment, so I can follow you: this is a desperate attempt, to find thouse #Compassionate souls, who are willing to sacrifice some of their time (and mental health) in order to #Connect to other #Humanbeings
- even if they may usually be avoided by “normal-ish” people with normal (“-ish”) attention spans.

And hey look here, I have another 1453 characters left, even at this point, to share my simple thoughts of deep matters such as #MentalHealth #MindBodySoul #MeaningfulConnectivity and about being #Human in general.

I am interested in #Philosphy #Poetry #Equity #HumanBodyResearch #Yoga #Nonviolence #OpenConversations #Integration #Mindfulness #Hiking #Minimalismus and generally hungry to learn, re-learn, grow, heal, change for the better.

I am also a passionate #Wellness professional and a #Parent of #Teenagers so more then one #Teen

I guess this ended up to be just another #Introduction or #Introductionpost

I will settle this here at this point, even though (thank you ) I have still over 800 characters left to express my brain overload here.

Hooray!
