ICT and Gender

I am currently in Botswana,Gaborone, attending the "ICTs in African Schools" Workshop.It is going on well.So far so good.There is one thing I would like to share with you guys out there.In view of the wind of ICT policy formulation sweeping across in many countries, especially African countries, Zambia inclusive, it is the chance we should include or submit that which we believe must be in the policies and will be solutions to most of the problems we are faced with as youth and help in bridging the digital divide. One other thing of particular interest is that of gender.In order to strike the balance in ICT use for development insofar as gender is concerned there should be deliberate efforts taken to mainstream it into the national policies and not to take it as just any other business.

WSIS Gender Caucus
Hi Ivin, great to read your update! I completely agree that we need more local initiatives to mainstream gender into ICT projects. Have you seen any of the material put out by the WSIS Gender Caucus? You can find links through the policy section of the YCDO website.

Cheers,

Maja
