Zambia: women and ICT

Description: This picture from WIDNet demonstrates how the use of ICT can improve the running of administrative functions. ZARD and Zambian women’s organisations are running the Women’s Information for Development Network (WIDNet) project in order to enhance and strengthen information exchange and knowledge sharing, thus contribute to the empowerment of women. The project uses ICT as tools to collect indigenous information, analyse research data, and coordinate the dissemination of information that is relevant and appropriate to the women’s movement and individual women in the country.
