If the digital council is made of a well representative team who have experiences and knowledge about the digital divide in different contexts then it would be able to address the barriers. Governments should put in place a place for reporting and knowledge sharing so that lessons learnt can be shared among different contexts.

Climate Change Adaptation Inclusion
I see the topic has been mentioned in section 3.5, but I also notice that there hasn't been a comprehensive discussion on including women and girls in climate adaptation skills development using technology. This is important as we already have wide gaps in digital skills and access to information and training, which already affects women and girls more. We need:
1. Research on how to create inclusive climate change adaption/mitigation development skills.
2. How to create solutions that take into account the already existing disparities.
3. Clear discussions on how to integrate women and girls into the solution formulation processes from the earliest stages possible.
