Eligibility and Criteria
APC WNSP and GKP Gender
and ICT Awards Focus
2007 Gender and ICT
Award focus will be announced in 2006.
The focus of the 2005 Awards
was on ICT initiatives that promote women’s economic
empowerment as it relates to development in Asia.
Economic empowerment was seen in terms
of:
- overcoming marginalisation, oppressive social norms,
and inadequate support and responsibility from governments
in terms of access & rights to resources & making
sound decisions;
- offering women choice and opportunity,
- encouraging women to fulfil their potentials;
- giving voice and capability to counter their seeming
powerlessness.
ICT-related development is defined not
only as it relates to income or material deprivation but
as resolving basic needs of the community and promoting
social networking through ICT intervention.The focus is
not on the technology itself but in looking at the practical
gender and strategic application by women to address their
local needs and the specificity of their situations.
