Dear friends
The world is now almost a global village as a result of ICT. Information is critical to survival and development. Information is paver, information is wealth, information is development. The global information society demands higher levels of efficiency in governance, economy, commerce. Globalization can be viewed as a global technology development and revenue basket. The relationship between technology, education employment, productivity, economic development and sustainable growth and complex but directly related. The potential of ICT to improve the quality of governance, of self-development is amazing.
The critical question now is why/how young women chose to (or not to) participate in ICT4D policy processes.
Policy is principles that one believes. It is a guide, a sort of road map that helps point to the direction of things to be followed. The goal or aim always underlies policy formulation which may bring out objectives and expected outcomes.
In every day life women are marginalized. Very few women are convinced useful and central to any political, economic and social decision making mechanisms. It means denying them opportunities that could make them progress, have access to welfare, education, health, shelter and the basic means of social existence. If then formulation they do not have opportunities even to take decision in matters concerning them, how can they get involved in policy formulation.
