The Digital for Girls and Women (D4GW) project, with a budget of €2.25 million financed by the Belgian government and implemented by Enabel, aimed to promote an inclusive, rights-based digital transformation across Belgium, Burkina Faso, and Uganda. Conceived as a pilot initiative, it was carried out in a context marked by security constraints (notably in Burkina Faso) and persistent gender gaps in digital access. Its objectives were to (1) economically empower women through increased access and better use of digital technologies and (2) empower people, especially women and girls, to claim their digital rights.

This final evaluation was conducted for both summative and formative purposes, supporting accountability and generating learning for future scaling. It covers the implementation period from 2022 to 2025. The analytical framework relied on all six OECD-DAC criteria. These criteria were complemented by an analysis of gender integration, which is central to the project, as well as an in-depth analysis of implementation management in a multi-country and multi-stakeholder context. The thematic analysis focused specifically on coherence with national and international policies, the effectiveness of digital skills training models, and the key sustainability factors for the results achieved, given the pilot nature of the project.
