Gender and ICT Awards
---------------------
The Gender and ICT Awards is a four-year project organized by the Global
Knowledge Partnership (GKP) and the Association for Progressive
Communication Women's Networking Support Program (APC WNSP) with initial
financial support from the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation
(SDC).

There are four categories and each category winner will be awarded
US$8,000.

The Awards are designed to recognize gender and ICT initiatives globally
and provide further impetus for others to mainstream gender in the field
of ICT for women's empowerment, and to support advocacy work. Insights
into best practices and lessons learnt within Gender and ICT projects
will be showcased and discussed on a special website during the
four-year run of the Awards. They are meant to provide a much-needed
opportunity to recognise community-based or small-scale initiatives
designed and implemented by women and women's organizations/networks,
while also providing recognition to larger scale but cost-effective
multi-stakeholder initiatives.

This year, winners of the Gender and ICT Awards will be presented and
celebrated at a special event held parallel to the World Summit on the
Information Society (WSIS) in Geneva, Switzerland, from December 10-12,
2003.

Submissions are open until: 01 November 2003 (***20 September 2003***).
