This strengthened commitment by the founding partners of EQUALS consisting of the International Telecommunication Union, the International Trade Centre, UN Women, UN University and the GSMA sets an ambitious goal: achieving digital gender equality by 2035.

The EQUALS Global Partnership – a coalition of international organisations, governments, corporations, academic institutions, non-profits, and community organisations worldwide – is intensifying efforts to bridge the gender digital divide.

Empowering Women and Girls Through Digital Innovation

The new EQUALS vision puts women and girls at the centre of digital transformation at a time when technology, particularly AI, is evolving rapidly. By equipping them with digital skills, resources, and opportunities, EQUALS aims to empower 100 million women and girls within the next decade to become active contributors to the digital economy.

“As technology evolves faster than ever, successful digital transformation depends on women and girls being at the forefront of change,” said ITU Secretary-General Doreen Bogdan-Martin. “That’s why a renewed focus on empowering women innovators and policymakers is driving the new EQUALS Global Partnership.”

Mats Granryd, Director General of the GSMA, said: “The growth of AI and digital innovation presents unprecedented opportunities to build a more inclusive world. But without intentional action, women and girls risk being left behind. By reaffirming our mission, the EQUALS Global Partnership is ensuring that women and girls everywhere can fully participate in the digital economy, unlocking their potential and shaping the future of technology.”

The partnership’s work will be structured around thematic workstreams, each operating on a two-year cycle, ensuring flexibility to adapt to emerging challenges and opportunities. EQUALS partners and members will continue advocating for policy changes, fostering collaboration between public and private sectors, and launching targeted programmes to support women and girls in tech.

INDIANAPOLIS, March 4, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — The Indianapolis Prize, the world’s leading award for animal conservation, has named Mwezi “Badru” Mugerwa the Winner of the 2025 Indianapolis Prize Emerging Conservationist Award. This honor—only the second given to date—is presented to a conservationist under 40 who has made a significant impact on saving an animal species or group of species. Mugerwa will receive a $50,000 award.

Mugerwa is a Ugandan conservationist and researcher and is the founder and director of Embaka, a grassroots community-based conservation organization focused on the preservation of the African golden cat. He established the first-ever community-based anti-poaching conservation project focused on the African golden cat at Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park in Uganda. Mugerwa also created the African Golden Cat Conservation Alliance (AGCCA), a network of African nationals implementing conservation activities for the African golden cat across the species range. Additionally, Mugerwa serves as the president of the Society for Conservation Biology’s Africa Region and is the president-elect for the Society for Conservation Biology Global.

“Mwezi’s passion for involving the local community in conservation efforts is what makes him so worthy of receiving this award. It is a distinct honor to recognize him as the 2025 Indianapolis Prize Emerging Conservationist,” said Dr. Rob Shumaker, president and CEO of the Indianapolis Zoological Society.

Mugerwa began studying the African golden cat through research using camera traps, where he captured a black and white image of an unknown animal in the forest. At the time, the African golden cat was virtually unknown—an elusive species found only in the forests of equatorial Africa. Turning to the community, he came to understand how the wild cat’s primary threat—poaching—was directly connected to the livelihood of local people, as it is often caught in bushmeat snares.

Since its founding in 2015, Embaka has focused on involving the community in conservation efforts. Through four programs—offering everything from free oral health care and livestock, to helping with credit and savings for families in exchange for a pledge not to poach—more than 2,225 community members have registered to support the African golden cat.

“Having a national park in your backyard is not a burden, it’s an opportunity. That’s the connection we’ve been trying to draw for the African golden cat in these communities,” said Mugerwa. “Once you’re in the communities and you understand the problem: ‘I need money to pay my dentist bills.’ Well, what if I brought you a dentist? Once you explain that, it connects really well. The communities hold the solutions, but if you don’t talk to them, you won’t know.”

Using artificial intelligence to analyze camera trap data, Mugerwa and others working with the AGCCA in 19 African countries are moving toward a standardized model of observation to better study the population of African golden cats across the continent.

Mugerwa was chosen through a two-stage selection process and was named one of 10 Finalists in October 2024. The Emerging Conservationist award is made possible through a gift from the Kobe Foundation.

In May, the Indianapolis Prize will also announce the 2025 Indianapolis Prize Winner, who will receive a $250,000 award for their work in animal species conservation. The Indianapolis Prize Winner and Indianapolis Prize Emerging Conservationist will be honored at the Indianapolis Prize Gala on Sept. 27, 2025, presented by Cummins Inc., in downtown Indianapolis.
