Sorry for the delay: at long last, I'm posting about my experience in Afghanistan. Within the blawgs, I've got links to photos (not just my own), other people's blogs about their experiences in Afghanistan, online resources I've found helpful, and more. Enjoy.

This publication, with a foreword by Executive Director of UNIFEM, Noeleen Heyzer, looks at information and communications technology (ICT) for development through a gender lens and discusses ICT within a gender equality framework. Recognizing the importance of integrating a gender perspective as a cross-cutting area in ICT and development, this e-Primer provides a gender perspective on issues of ICT policies, access and control, education, training and skill development, and content development. Furthermore, the e-Primer introduces a framework to integrate gender in ICT for development and to empower women. This e-Primer also contains policy recommendations for creating inclusive development strategies and how to integrate a gender perspective into national ICT policies. The publication is jointly produced by UNDP Asia-Pacific Development Information Programme (APDIP) and the Association for Progressive Communications Women’s Networking Support Program (APC WNSP). Authors: Angela M. Kuga Thas, Chat Garcia Ramilo and Cheekay Cinco. PDF, 1.0 MB
