Pooja Gianchandani

I am on a professional mission to 'Cultivate Skilled Futures' in the Digital Economy. Currently, as an Advisor on Gig Economy at GIZ, I lead the design and implementation of capacity measures and tools incl. courses, eLearning and trainings that empower platform-based gig workers to thrive in the digital economy. I am implementing multi-stakeholder projects in 14 countries in Sub-Saharan Africa, South Asia, and Latin America. Through information sharing and capacity building, these projects aim to prepare workers in particular women, marginalised youth for digital work.

In the past two decades, I have gained valueable exerience experimenting with various approaches in skills development, vocational education and training, and the digital economy. I am a passionate advocate for human-centered approaches, and deeply committed to crafting equitable, inclusive, and sustainable solutions.
