| dc.description | The aim of this paper is to bring rural communities and women and other marginalized groups in particular at the centre of conversations on ICTs. Advances in this field have made available increasing quantity of information to more people than ever before, shaping their social, cultural, economic and political life. The ability to access and make use of these resources often marks the difference between those who thrive and those who are left behind. Rural women and men in developing and least developed countries have the lowest levels of access to ICTs, and they mostly remain an afterthought in ICT policy and private sector outreach. There is an urgent need to increase the access of rural women to ICT access and use, as they stand to gain the most from active participation and engagement with these resources. | |
