Dear all,
As a step forward in our "Women in ICT" initiative, we are currently working
on creating an inventory of women in ICT. The main aim of preparing this
inventory is to come up with success stories of women in ICT sector so as to
motivate women to join the ICT workforce. Furthermore, this inventory can
also help to depict the present scenario of women participation in ICT field
of Nepal and can aid IT policy-makers to develop women-friendly ICT policies
for increasing women participation. Under the first phase of this project,
we have started to collect information of women successfully working in the
ICT sector.

ourselves to the following sectors:

c) Software developers/specialists

ii) Application developers
*3) Media Persons* *(Electronic Media - TV, Radio)*

b) Documentary (editor, director)
c) Technical officer
The parameters that we have considered to define success for our first
phase is defined below:
1. *Position in organization*

2. *Recognition*(if applicable)

2. People level
