Policy Brief 2016

The UNWomen Fund for Gender Equality Project implemented by WOUGNET and WomensNet in South Africa entitled “Increasing women’s decision making and influence in Internet Governance and ICT policy for the realization of women’s rights in Africa” was conceived with the aim of i) increasing the capacity of women in the two countries to discuss, analyse, respond to and influence policy on gender and internet governance more effectively; and ii) increase the knowledge-base on how internet governance and ICT laws and policies can incorporate a women’s rights perspective in order to substantially and materially improve the lives of women specifically
in Uganda and South Africa, and in the region more broadly. The project is implemented by Women of Uganda Network (WOUGNET) in
Uganda, and the WomensNet in South Africa.
