Event: ICT women empowerment Africa summit

Date: 
28. September 2010 - 29. September 2010

The summit was prompted by a thorough research conducted by Corptrain to ascertain the condition of women in ICT in Africa. The reality is that this vital sector has great economic potentials but marred by a huge level of disparity in terms of gender equity. Few women are actively involved, and far less at management level.

Summit objectives:

The summit aims to achieve the following objectives which certainly will guarantee positive change for all women in ICT:

  • Exploring opportunities for women advancement in the ICT sector
  • Aligning ICT with other broader women empowerment initiatives
  • Offering an opportunity to women from various walks of life to share experiences and compare notes
  • Highlighting the importance of ICT as a vital tool to bring women to the economic mainstream
  • Using case-studies to offer practical hands experiences
  • Creating a forum to highlight the need for an integrated approach to women empowerment in ICT
  • Taking the African ICT industry to globally competitive levels
  • Building a solid foundation for future women advancement
  • Helping women to manage their business more productively
  • Broadening women’s choices in the use of technologies
