Video series: Ghana’s tech lab part 2 This week, we will spotlight the second video produced by UNICEF Startup Lab–Ghana Country Office. KODU TECHNOLOGY, a visionary social enterprise in Ghana turning discarded banana and plantain fibers into affordable, biodegradable sanitary pads, a solution that tackles period poverty, creates sustainable jobs, and reduces plastic waste. This model doesn’t just deliver a product, it restores dignity, supports women in underserved communities, and puts agricultural waste to purposeful use.

Introducing the latest insight report out now: Advancing Responsible AI Innovation: A Playbook.
Less than 1% of organizations have fully embedded systemic, responsible AI, which maximizes benefits and minimizes the risks it poses to people, especially children, society and the environment.

The Alliance’s new playbook, published by World Economic Forum presents nine essential plays as a roadmap for public-private engagement to help organizations put responsible AI into practice across diverse contexts and jurisdictions.

“It’s a way of telling these children: you exist, and you have the right to be protected.” Raoul is not a doctor. He doesn’t carry vaccines from village to village. Yet, from an office in Yaoundé, Cameroon, he saves lives every single day. His tools? Data. Maps. Technology. His mission? Making sure no child is invisible. For the first time, isolated communities, nomadic camps, and villages missing from maps are being seen, recognized, and included. Imagine what happens when we scale this approach to reach children everywhere: not only for immunization, but also for education, nutrition, and protection. 👉 Read the full article to discover how Raoul and his team are proving that with the right tools, no child has to remain invisible. #DigitalTransformation #DigitalHealth #DigitalImpact

Using tech to vaccinate every child Through the Reach the Unreached (RtU) initiative, UNICEF has worked hand in hand with WorldPop, CartONG and MapAction to harness data, AI, and geospatial innovation in the fight against vaccine inequity. RtU used detailed population data, expert input from national partners, and custom tools like maps and dashboards to support decision-making. This approach helped identify 1.4 million under-immunized children across five countries and led to over 95,000 zero-dose children receiving their first vaccine. This partnership shows the power of collaboration: data scientists, humanitarian mappers, and cross-sectoral national teams coming together to make vaccines truly accessible to every child. 👉 Read more about this innovative approach in the 2024 UNICEF Digital Technology Annual Report: https://lnkd.in/eY3gRvpZ As we celebrate these successes, we’re excited to begin phase 2 of RtU where we build on this progress to help every child, everywhere, survive and thrive. #ReachTheUnreached UNICEF Cameroon Unicef CHAD UNICEF Côte d'Ivoire UNICEF Guinée Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance Gates Foundation Africa Africa CDC
