The APC WNSP and GKP Gender and
ICT Awards aim to honor and bring international recognition
to innovative and effective projects by women to use ICTs
for the promotion of gender equality and/or womens empowerment.
Specifically, the Awards' objectives are to:
- Recognise gender and ICT initiatives globally and provide
further impetus for others to mainstream gender in the
field of ICTs for women's empowerment, and therefore support
our advocacy work;
- Provide a much-needed venue to recognise community-based
or small-scale initiatives designed and implemented by
women and women's organisations/networks; while providing
recognition to larger scale but cost-effective multi-stakeholder
initiatives;
- Provide much needed opportunities to develop new collaborations/partnerships
and opportunities for upscaling small-scale and community-based
initiatives.
- To increase the profile as well as knowledge and networking
base of both APC WNSP and GKP in the area of gender and
ICTs.
In 2003, the Gender and ICT Awards celebrated
advocacy, networking and capacity building
in local as well as broad multi-stakeholder initiatives,
worldwide.. In 2005, the Gender and ICT Awards focus was
on empowerment, specifically ICT initiatives
that promote womens economic empowerment as it relates
to development, in the Asia region.
