Join UNFPA for a webinar highlighting the progress of four exceptional teams, and their innovative growth journeys over the past six months. This event will also mark the launch of a digital platform led by Global Network of Young Persons with Disabilities (GNYPWD), which will serve as a networking and knowledge management space.
In June 2023, UNFPA, in collaboration with GDI Hub and GNYPWD, initiated the AccessAbility Innovation Challenge to address barriers to sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) for young persons with disabilities. The challenge aimed to empower young persons with disabilities, improve access to innovative solutions tailored to their needs, and enhance their participation in decision-making related to SRH and gender-based violence (GBV).
Ventures, led by young innovators with disabilities, received financial and capacity-building support and connections to UNFPA and the tech ecosystem. Join the one-hour webinar to discover more about these ventures!

The four ventures:
- Technoprise Global (Kenya) - "Conversational AI for Inclusive Data Collection"
- Alianta Infonet (Republic of Moldova) - "Inclusive voices: Empowering Content Creators with Disability through Podcasting"
- AccessABLE (India) - "Information access on SRH topics using conversational flows in low-resource settings."
- Vessels for Development (Cameroon) - "Inclusive Reproductive Health Initiative (IRHI)"
After the webinar, there's an opportunity to meet the ventures personally in breakout rooms designed explicitly for funders, investors, scaling partners, and ecosystem collaborators interested in getting acquainted, learning more, and staying connected.
