A wide range of freely accessible digital and online technology has opened many doors to creative problem solving, career development, and management of our day-to-day activities. 

The role of women in sustainable development is significant in achieving meaningful social and economic growth. For this reason, the UNDP Ocean Innovation Challenge (OIC) puts equal importance to gender mainstreaming in the selection of game-changing and transformative ocean innovations.

The OIC and the ocean innovators are helping women in various communities and sectors have better access to and become more confident to venture into digital technology by enhancing their knowledge and skills.
