| Gender and ICT Projects Database |
In recognition of the Gender and ICT initiatives all over the globe, we have created this projects database and made it available online. The database is a repository of Gender and ICT projects which were nominated and had qualified for the GICT Awards 2003 screening. This will be enriched by each award year. We are hoping that these efforts will inspire others to network, advocate and mobilize ICTs for women's empowerment and gender equality.

| Measuring ICT |
UNCTAD member States recognize that it is crucial to assess the state of use and impact of ICTs in developing countries. By using comparable and reliable data and indicators on their information societies, Governments can formulate and evaluate policies that will maximize the benefits of ICT for the development of their countries. At the national level, more and more countries are measuring ICT. UNCTAD helps developing countries find ways to monitor and measure overall digital economy developments and ICT use. http://new.unctad.org/default____575.aspx |
| GenderIT.org |
GenderIT.org emerged from the Association for Progressive Communications Women's Networking Support Programme's advocacy work in information and communications technologies (ICTs). The need to have examples of national policy, gender-sensitive language, tools for lobbying, and an understanding of the impact of poor or positive policy all within easy access has been expressed by ICT advocates and policy makers alike.
