The impact of Information and Communications Technology (ICT) in the
economic, social, cultural, political and individual spheres of life is
widely accepted and recognised world over. ICTs give the young
generation a whole range of opportunities; socializing and exposure,
employment, getting information, doing research etc. It is widely
accepted that the use of ICT can have a major influence on how learners
approach learning, now and in the future. ICTs help make learning in
school more responsive to the diverse learning needs of individual
learners and can help make the school learning environment more
conducive to students well being. ICT-based vocational training can
also be useful in helping out of school youth who have not made it to
higher institutions of learning e.g. operating and maintaining computer
hardware, carrying out ICT related businesses etc.

All East African states are committed, via their espousal of the Education for All (EFA) and the Millennium Development Goals, to eliminate gender disparities in education over the next few years. Promoting gender equality and women's empowerment is essential to poverty eradication and achieving sustainable human development (World Bank 1999). Governments under the leadership of the United Nations have made strong commitments to promote gender equality and women's empowerment through several instruments. In particular the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR – 1948); the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (ICESCR – 1966); the Convention on the Elimination of all forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW – 1975); the Beijing Declaration (1995) and the Millennium Declaration (2000).
