Stewards for Good: Women Shaping Technology for Public Good

In the spirit of this year’s International Women’s Day theme, “Give to Gain,” OGP invites our closest community of civic builders and partners to reflect on this together. This learning circle is part of OGP’s Stewards for Good programme, which supports communities building technology for public good and expands pathways for civic participation. The session is jointly presented with our steward, Women Devs SG. It reflects OGP’s broader mission to create more inclusive models of citizen participation, ensuring that diverse voices are involved not only in public policy discussions, but also in designing the technologies that power public good. Human Library OGP and WDS will lead Human Library-style learning circles, where women leaders and civic builders share their insights and lived experiences on how they: build technology for public good participate in civic innovationshape inclusive digital systems Due to limited capacity, priority will be given to our Stewards for Good community members and Build for Good alumni.
