uganda: Online Conference: Information Access for Rural Women

In June 2002, Women of Uganda Network (WOUGNET) hosted an online conference on Information Access for Rural Women. Information, communication and entertainment are as critical for rural living as they are for urban living, and indeed there is increasing demand for information and communication equipment and services in rural areas. However, major challenges exist in terms of available means of information access and dissemination as well as how to operate the audio-visual systems used in rural areas.
