Ensuring
affordable access pricing can only lead to universal access if those
policies consider all
individuals. Training
professionals on how to rethink telecommunications policy from a gender
perspective provides the necessary skills and tools that will lead to more
efficient and universally reaching policies.
Using
a participatory approach, this workshop provides an important opportunity
for regulators and policy makers to participate in specialized training
that will assist them to effectively integrate gender perspectives in
telecommunications policy. The
workshop provides the tools to assist regulators on how to rethink the
policy process so as to reflect a gender aware approach.
It further provides practical examples and experiences to illustrate
the impact of gender perspectives in telecommunications policy.
