Women in Global Science and Technology would like to announce a new list:

ICTsforRuralWomen is an information and announcement list which circulates
information on resources, events and organisations working on issues
related to how women can use ICTs to support their grassroots productive
enterprises.

Topics on the list include:

- information on productive technologies to reduce the burden of domestic
chores or increase the productivity and quality of their enterprises;

- information on prices and markets and other forms of small enterprise
support, such as training and product monitoring.

- women's needs for appropriate technologies;

- developing appropriate software packages and training women how to use them;

- extension services and commerical producers to assist with translating
information into action;

- linking the use of ICTs with other communications strategies such as
radio and church meetings to expand the outreach of information available;

- monitoring impact of strategies for widespread replication of pilot
projects;

- documentation of best practices and packaging of results for policy
makers, development practitioners and women themselves.

- and many more.
