Gender & ICT Awards
Gender & ICT Awards
GKP and the Association for Progressive Communications Women's
Networking Support Programme (APC WNSP) are initiating 'The Gender
and ICT Awards'. Inviting submissions under the "Multistakeholder"
and "Community-based/Individual" categories, the US$8,000 per-
category Awards aim to:
* Recognise gender and ICT initiatives globally and provide
further impetus for others to mainstream gender in the field of ICTs;
and therefore support a number of internationally agreed
recommendations for gender equality, women's rights and empowerment,
* Give due recognition to community-based or small-scale
initiatives designed and implemented by women and women's
organisations/networks; while appreciating 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.
The winners will be celebrated at an award ceremony in conjunction
with the World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) in Geneva,
Switzerland, from December 10-12, 2003.
