They're mapping conditions, planning improvements, and measuring impact\u2014all from within their own communities.\r\n\r\nWhile women hold less than <a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000367416\/PDF\/367416eng.pdf.multi.page=7\">25 percent of digital sector jobs<\/a> around the globe, the number of women GIS staff in some humanitarian organizations is closer to 40 percent and growing. Expanded GIS training and career development opportunities, particularly in regions with greater societal barriers, have enriched the local talent pool.\r\n<h3><strong>STEM Skills and Internship Opportunities<\/strong><\/h3>\r\nDeep-rooted societal norms and gender stereotypes often impede or discourage women from pursuing occupations in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields.\r\n\r\nEthiopia's high school dropout rate exacerbates existing gender disparities, particularly impacting girls' access to education and digital literacy. While information and communication technology (ICT) classes are introduced at the secondary level, <a href=\"https:\/\/malala.org\/countries\/ethiopia\">only one in four Ethiopian girls<\/a> reach this stage, leaving many without exposure to digital devices or skills training.\r\n\r\niMMAP Inc. is an international nonprofit organization that provides information management (IM) services to humanitarian and development organizations and is working to bridge these gaps. Through its Ethiopia-based Humanitarian Information Support Team (HIST), iMMAP Inc. offers a range of capacity-building initiatives, including self-paced courses, instructor-led training, and webinars covering essential IM skills and tools such as GIS for data visualization and analysis. The HIST operates regionally from its main office in Addis Ababa, with dedicated colleagues also working in the Amhara, Somali, and Tigray regions.\r\n\r\n\u201cThe information management sector in Ethiopia is highly male dominated,<em>\u201d<\/em> said Geke Kieft, iMMAP Inc.\u2019s country representative in Ethiopia. To address this, iMMAP Inc. is committed to increasing women\u2019s representation in its programs, particularly its <a href=\"https:\/\/immap.org\/news\/redefining-opportunities-in-humanitarian-tech-in-ethiopia-through-an-immersive-internship-program\/\">immersive six-month internship program<\/a>, launched in partnership with Addis Ababa University. The program provides recent graduates hands-on experience applying GIS and remote sensing skills to projects within the humanitarian sector.\r\n\r\nKieft emphasizes iMMAP Inc.\u2019s dedication to encouraging women and future leaders in IM: \"We are committed to providing these opportunities for women and the younger generation to develop critical IM skills and become leaders in their field.\" This focus on practical, long-term experience and leadership development aims to empower women within the IM sector.\r\n\r\nThe iMMAP Inc. internship program in Ethiopia builds upon the success of a similar <a href=\"https:\/\/immap.org\/story\/promoting-humanitarian-response-localization-in-northeast-nigeria-with-immap-inc-s-internships\/\">internship program in Nigeria<\/a>, which recently celebrated its fourth year. In January 2024, 14 interns completed the intensive two-month program in northeast Nigeria. Both programs provide invaluable practical experience, mentorship, and networking opportunities within the humanitarian technology sector.\r\n\r\n\u201cOur partnership with Addis Ababa University is vital to iMMAP Inc.\u2019s mission of empowering women in STEM disciplines, particularly in information management,\u201d said William Barron, CEO of iMMAP Inc. \u201cThis initiative provides talented graduates with practical experience, positioning them to become leaders in the sector, and contributes to the broader goal of advancing gender equality in Ethiopia.\u201d"},{"acf_fc_layout":"gallery","gallery_images":[720832,720782,720802]},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"Masresha Anwar and Tsion Taye were the first two interns to complete the six-month iMMAP Ethiopia internship program. Both women had recently graduated with a Master of Science in Remote Sensing and Geoinformatics.\r\n\r\nGeoinformatics and GIS are central to the services iMMAP provides to achieve its tagline of: \u201cBetter Data. Better Decisions. Better Outcomes.\u201d The interns underwent a rigorous onboarding process and were given specific job objectives and tasks tailored to their interests and skill levels. Anwar and Taye engaged in data collection, spatial analysis, and map-based visualization.\r\n\r\n\u201cThe internship allowed me to interact with different types of data and analytical methodologies,\u201d Anwar said. \u201cAnd learn more about information management issues.\u201d\r\n\r\nRecognizing that the internship alone might not fully equip graduates for the competitive regional STEM job market, Kieft and her team successfully advocated for two new IM assistant positions within iMMAP Inc. Ethiopia. Following a competitive interview process, both Anwar and Taye were hired.\r\n\r\n\"We're developing a robust succession plan here in Ethiopia,\" Kieft explained. \"The goal is to create a pathway for individuals to progress from intern to junior staff, then on to senior officer or management roles. That's the long-term trajectory we envision for them.\"\r\n<h3><strong>Training Local Demining Experts<\/strong><\/h3>\r\nAbout 95 percent of the workforce of The HALO Trust\u2014the world's largest humanitarian land mine clearance organization\u2014is composed of local staff. In war-torn regions, HALO is often one of the largest employers. The work is not only labor-intensive, but it benefits from having staff with local knowledge of the landscape.\r\n\r\nHALO trains its workforce in technologies required for finding and clearing land mines so that communities can rebound from conflict more quickly. Teams are using GIS for the full demining workflow, from delineating the boundaries of suspected minefields, to creating detailed maps of where mines were removed so that the land can be returned to communities.\r\n\r\n\u201cOur connection with the local communities makes it work, and it\u2019s important that the technology is flexible so they can find the best way to make it work for them,\u201d said Jesse Hamlin, senior GIS officer at HALO Trust. \"This is where Esri\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/en-us\/arcgis\/products\/arcgis-enterprise\/overview\">ArcGIS Enterprise<\/a> suite and Trimble\u2019s advanced <a href=\"https:\/\/geospatial.trimble.com\/en\/products\/hardware\/gnss-systems\">GNSS receivers<\/a> make a big difference.\""},{"acf_fc_layout":"gallery","gallery_images":[720852,720842,720752]},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"The job of demining used to be considered \u201cmen\u2019s work\u201d but more and more <a href=\"https:\/\/www.halotrust.org\/what-we-do\/our-impact\/empowering-women\/#:~:text=With%20training%20and%20a%20living,disarmament%20and%20mine%20action%20sector.&amp;text=%22I%20saw%20the%20women%20clearing,here%20to%20cultivate%20the%20land.%22&amp;text=When%2014%2Dyear%2Dold%20Aurora's,who%20are%20clearing%20her%20village.\">women are joining the effort<\/a>. In countries such as Somalia, where women have fewer freedoms, 30 percent of the HALO deminers are women. Since Somalia is a very clan-oriented society, women can work in certain areas that men cannot if they are from one of the local clans. In Sri Lanka, where the world\u2019s first female head of state was elected in 1960, women comprise half of the demining workforce, and many women are in leadership roles.\r\n\r\nHALO Trust launched the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.halousa.org\/latest\/halo-updates\/news\/the-halo-trust-and-trimble-launching-women-in-gis-for-demining-initiative\/\">Women in GIS for Demining<\/a>\u201d initiative in March 2024, with support from the Trimble Foundation. The three-year project will train 11 women across seven countries who will in turn train deminers on the tools of the trade.\r\n\r\nWomen in Ukraine, Yemen, Zimbabwe, and Sri Lanka are currently supporting more than 2,400 field staff, teaching them how to use <a href=\"https:\/\/geospatial.trimble.com\/en\/products\/hardware\/gnss-systems\">Trimble GNSS equipment<\/a> as well as the GIS mobile workforce and data collection apps <a href=\"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/en-us\/arcgis\/products\/arcgis-field-maps\/overview\">ArcGIS Field Maps<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/en-us\/arcgis\/products\/arcgis-survey123\/overview\">ArcGIS Survey123<\/a>.\r\n\r\nIn Zimbabwe, a woman named Delight Manyange started working as a deminer in her early 20s, and helped clear the mines around her school. She was trained as a GIS specialist after showing acumen with the tools. \u201cShe recently went back to her village to support her colleagues to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.halotrust.org\/latest\/halo-updates\/stories\/from-deminer-to-gis-specialist-delights-story\/\">map the land<\/a> they\u2019ve cleared,\u201d Hamlin said."},{"acf_fc_layout":"gallery","gallery_images":[720792,720762,728162]},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"In HALO\u2019s office in Somalia, Khadiijo Ahmed leads the information management department. Starting as a data clerk in the finance department, she became a GIS technician, then a GIS analyst, and was promoted to GIS manager. She has since hired other local women to assist her in working with GIS and other enterprise software.\r\n\r\nIn the GIS specialty, 40 percent of The HALO Trust\u2019s workers are women. This is higher than the roughly 20 percent for women deminers globally because in countries where HALO operates there are often limits on women working in the field. \u201cGIS is a safe space where women can contribute and make a difference and not have to worry about being judged,\u201d Hamlin said. This tracks with the organization\u2019s commitment to providing new opportunities and its long-term vision that every person they train will spread the power of GIS technology.\r\n\r\n\u201cMany of the people we have trained in GIS come from remote villages but now work for the government and are training other people on the technology,\u201d Hamlin said. \u201cThey will become the leaders of
