People can report issues such as illegal dumping or overflowing bins through online platforms, leading to faster response times and improved waste management.

It is crucial to address the differentiated impacts of technology on women and men, to build capacities and partnerships and to dismantle gender stereotypes and other barriers so that women can benefit equally from the opportunities offered by digitalisation. Gender equality encompasses equality in access to technologies, skills and participation to the design of digital tools. Aruba's National Gender Policy addresses inequality in education related to Science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM)-related fields necessary for e-government (building on the achievements of the 11th EDF programme on higher education which provided equal opportunities), women participation in vocational education and labour compensation. The Action will contribute to mainstream gender perspective in all activities, and by the consideration of the principle of inclusiveness as key element in sustainable economic growth and decision-making. Particular attention will be given to the empowerment of women, for example in ensuring equal participation in trainings and capacity building activities and in creating networks and platforms for women's empowerment. Moreover, the Government will promote an increased share of women within their staff and their managerial teams.
