ICT Update magazine is looking for articles for our forthcoming issue on Women and ICTs.
We would like to hear from anyone working on agricultural or rural development projects that emphasize the role and position of women in African, Caribbean and Pacific countries, where ICTs (mobile phones, computers, GIS, email, internet, radio, TV, etc) are used to improve employment opportunities or to encourage an interest in traditional agricultural practices. We are looking for projects that focus on empowerment, female rural entrepreneurship or capacity building. If you are involved in such a project then please get in touch with brief details on the technology you use, how women are involved, and how it contributes to rural development in ACP countries. We can then send an article outline and list of questions to cover in the article, or organise a time for a telephone interview. Also if you know interesting ICT applications for women in rural areas, or background information, recently published reports, papers or other documents, on the issue, please let us know. We want to distinguish new trends, want to know if women have more access to ICTs compared with the past and in relation to men, with what kind of ICTS they mostly work with, and how ICTs can improve the empowerment, job possibilities, female entrepreneurship etc. of women in rural areas in African, Caribbean and Pacific countries. We can then send an article outline and list of questions to cover in the article, or organise a time for a telephone interview. We also greatly appreciate the responses to our previous calls for articles, and hope you will continue to support our efforts in forthcoming issues.
