Seeing ICTs through a gender lens
"The gender movement in Africa needs to do a lot more to sensitize policy-makers on mainstreaming ICTs in national policy". This was the main message to participants concluding a 5-day workshop in Addis Ababa on "Strengthening the capacity of national machineries through the effective use of ICTs."
Held from 10 to 14 January 2005, the main aim of the workshop was to build the institutional capacity of information managers working for National Machineries for the Empowerment of Women to support gender equality and gender mainstreaming in the development frameworks of member States as outlined in the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action. The workshop was organized by the UN Division for the Advancement of women (DAW) in collaboration with ECA's Development Information Services Division (DISD) and the African Centre for Gender and Development (ACGD).

In this project, 20 to 25 African women are trained each year over a two-year period in innovative technology of Internet networking design, maintenance and use. Following their training it is anticipated that these women will return home to either high salaried employment or to establish SMEs (such as cyber cafés or telecentres or teleservices businesses) in the new economy e-business area. Information disseminated about these young women and their experience will lead other young women in Africa to enter high technology training and businesses.
