🌍 👩⚕️ In a groundbreaking effort, we came together with Pan American Health Organization (PAHO), The World Bank, Inter-American Development Bank (IDB), and World Health Organization (WHO) to drive a common vision for the digital transformation of the health sector. This vision aims to create equitable, patient-centered, and resilient health systems worldwide. From AI-driven tools to telemedicine and interoperable health records, these innovations will make healthcare more accessible, efficient, and inclusive. "Digital transformation is not just about technology; it's about building stronger, more resilient health systems that serve everyone, everywhere." said Dr. Jarbas Barbosa, PAHO. "By leveraging digital health technologies, we can bridge disparities, engage patients in their own health journey, and unlock a new era of equitable healthcare," said Karin Källander, UNICEF Chief of Digital Health and Information Systems. Join us in celebrating this partnership and the shared goal of a healthier tomorrow for all.

🧑🤝🧑📲How does UNICEF use Human-Centered Design (HCD) to create digital technology that meets the specific needs of people in the Global South? The foundation of any successful digital solution lies in deeply understanding the challenges it seeks to address. At UNICEF we believe that 𝐞𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐲, 𝐝𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐠𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐚 𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐝-𝐜𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐚𝐜𝐡 are crucial. The challenges faced by children and young people are complex, and our digital solutions must be equally nuanced to be truly effective. By placing their needs at the heart of our technology design and collaborating with beneficiaries and governments, we can create meaningful and impactful solutions 🌍✨ UNICEF Togo digital HCD gurus, Minu Limbu and Norbert Komlan GLAKPE have been applying Human Centered Design to ensure their digital innovations aren't just solutions in search of a problem but are crafted to meet the real needs of those they serve. 🎥 Watch the following video to see how UNICEF Togo is incorporating HCD into their daily digital technology work! https://lnkd.in/eEenmjxc #DigitalTechnology #HumanCenteredDesign #DigitalInnovation #TechForGood #DigitalTransformation

At the 2024 China-Africa Digital Financial Inclusion Summit, UNICEF colleague Fui Meng Liew highlighted the transformative potential of south-south cooperation in advancing digital and financial inclusion for children and youth. 🌍 In a world where 70% of Sub-Saharan Africa’s population is under 30, digital literacy and financial inclusion are not just opportunities—they are essential pathways to unlocking the potential of the next generation. Platforms like #YOMA and #Mpesa, born in the Global South, showcase the incredible impact that innovative solutions can have on youth empowerment and poverty alleviation. However, challenges remain. With only 37% of Africa having internet access, there’s a critical need to bridge this digital divide to ensure every child can thrive. We must push forward to integrate digital tools and financial services into education, healthcare, and family support systems, enabling young people to build brighter futures. Governments and businesses must rise to the occasion, embracing the digital economy and empowering the youth with the tools they need to transform their lives and communities. It is important to integrate youth into the digital economy and ensure that the tools of financial inclusion are embraced by them. UNICEF will continue to champion these efforts, leveraging the power of South-South cooperation to ensure children’s rights are realized across Africa and the world. In this house, we strongly believe that every child, given the tools and opportunities, can achieve their full potential. 💪 UNICEF China #DigitalInclusion #FinancialInclusion #YouthEmpowerment #SouthSouthCooperation #CADFIS2024

How a gamified app helps schoolchildren learn languages in Italy In 2022, about a tenth of the total student population in Italy was non-Italian. For these children, mastering Italian is crucial for their academic success. Meanwhile, Italian students also need strong English skills to thrive in the global marketplace. Akelius digital learning application, a game-changer in language education, features rich interactive content and a gamified learning environment that enhances language skills while boosting student motivation and engagement. This tool is particularly vital for first-generation migrant and refugee children, who often face a two-year achievement gap in Italian language skills. By February 2023 and with support from UNICEF, the Akelius programme has expanded across Italy, reaching 57 comprehensive schools. “Unlocking Learning”, a report by our colleagues at UNICEF Innocenti, has looked at the Akelius programme and come up with the following key findings: - The digital learning app significantly accelerated students’ Italian and English language acquisition, according to both qualitative and quantitative analysis. - Teachers, students, and parents observed a marked increase in students' motivation to learn, driven by the gamified content and instant feedback. For more, read the full report: https://lnkd.in/dQFDmTdZ Together, Akelius and UNICEF are equipping children with the linguistic skills they need to succeed. 🌍📚 #DigitalTechnology #UNICEF #DigitalPedagogy #Education #EdTech
