Women in South Asia face greater barriers to accessing quality jobs than men. Digital job platforms could help reduce this gap. SAR GIL’s new report, Making Job Platforms Work for Women, shares solutions for fairer, more inclusive job platforms. Join: bit.ly/3KPPg7D

Collectively the world's poorest countries contribute ~0 to US trade deficit, but exports to US are very important for some of them. Current US tariffs and (even more) tariff uncertainty very bad for them. A cheap and powerful diplomatic win would be to exempt them. www.cgdev.org/blog/proposa...

🌊WEESA's March Digest dives into women & water: 💧 Water scarcity and WASH challenges 💧 Gender gaps in decision-making 💧 Why it's important to tap into all available talent 📬 Read it here: shorturl.at/4bK8r ✨ Subscribe & join the community: forms.gle/zyBgWH3AXrgb...

Women bear the brunt of water scarcity and inadequate water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) facilities and services. They also tend to be more adversely affected by water-related disasters. Despite this, women remain underrepresented in decision-making on water resources management and WASH. On average, women comprise only 20% of staff in water utilities globally. To more effectively respond to growing demands for water and sanitation and diverse water needs, water institutions must attract all available talent – including women.
