Women of Africa
could play a huge role in the information society if they had the resources and skills at their fingertips. This article by
Ngathie Diop looks at the success of the Internet for women in Senegal. Not only does the Internet provide women there with information on numerous issues relating to their daily lives, but is has also created jobs for them - around
35% of cyber cafes and telecentres there are now successfully owned by women. The role of African women will be one of the many issues put forward at the summit by the
African Civil Society Caucus.
