It also includes the meeting report of the Expert Group Meeting to Review ICT Policy from a Gender Perspective in order to provide an overall picture of the ICT policy initiatives and legislation environment in the region. It is addressed to policy makers with a view to promote establishment of gender-sensitive ICT policies and strategies in the national context. Women’s ICT organizations and advocates in the field of ICTs, gender equality, and women’s empowerment will also find this publication useful. |
