Women of Uganda Network (WOUGNET) is a non-governmental organisation
initiated in May 2000 by several women's organisations in Uganda to
develop the use of information and communication technologies (ICTs)
among women as tools to share information and address issues
collectively.
WOUGNET's mission is to promote and support the use of ICTs by women
and women organisations in Uganda, so that they can take advantage of
the opportunities presented by ICTs in order to effectively address
national and local problems of sustainable development. The new ICTs,
in particular, email and the Internet facilitate communication with
each other and the international community. Indeed, access to
information about best practices, appropriate technologies, ideas and
problems of other groups working on similar concerns have been
identified as critical information and communication needs of women
organisations in Africa.
While our emphasis is directed towards Internet technologies, we are
also interested in how these technologies can be integrated with
traditional means of information exchange and dissemination including
radio, video, television and print media. Our goal is to improve
conditions of life for women by enhancing their capacities and
opportunities for exchange, collaboration and information sharing.
