[DC] Project CREATE

[Dr. Rajendra Pratap Gupta, PhD]

Dear Friend,

I am writing to you regarding Project CREATE (Collaborate to Realize Employment & Entrepreneurship For All Through Technology Ecosystem) that was launched at the 17th IGF in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, 2022.

We are living in the Digital age, and increased technology adoption should lead to job creation. Still, we see mass layoffs across the tech industry, and this will continue, which brings to the fore the biggest challenge of 'job creation' for countries, more so, for the LMICs (Low- and Middle-Income Countries) - which have huge populations to serve, but lack the financial wherewithal, and the increased digital divide with nearly 2.7 billion of the world are out of the internet era. 
 
We can reverse this by creating decentralized technology models around individuals and communities to ensure 'Internet for All & Livelihood for All'. We need to engage multiple stakeholders (Academia, Government, Industry, Multi-lateral bodies & Civil Society) to come together with a goal to:  
 
a) Bridge the digital divide by connecting everyone to the internet. 
b) Create a tech-enabled ecosystem to provide employment and entrepreneurial opportunities to everyone. 

We believe that Internet technologies can create a tech-enabled ecosystem that can connect the world seamlessly and provide a pathway for ensuring 'Livelihood for All' through 'Internet for All.' Hence the Project CREATE.  

At Project CREATE, we plan to form a Working Group, hold consultations & brainstorming sessions with various stakeholders, Map Jobs (based on 8 sectors, namely, Retail, Infrastructure - construction, Agriculture, Tourism, MSME, GovTech - Public Goods, Education, Health) and come out with a CREATE Framework leading to 'Internet for All and Livelihood for All.' This will be followed by hosting a Jobs Summit in mid-next year at UN Headquarters in New York, USA.

We invite the experts at IGF to volunteer to work on models of Job Creation where technology plays a key role with individuals as the focus. 

Should you want to volunteer for Project CREATE, you may write to us at contact at projectcreate.tech [mailto:contact at projectcreate.tech] or founder at projectcreate.tech [mailto:founder at projectcreate.tech]

Looking forward to hearing from you.
Best regards 

Rajendra
