| Information and Communication Technology (ICT) is transforming the way people interact around the world - it has created new networks across cultures, countries and continents, and altered the workings of the global world economy. Women (and men) living in the developing world, and African countries in particular, are still largely excluded from the digital revolution. In this journal, writers focus on investigating the gender digital devide, which stems from women's and mens unequal access to and use of new technologies. Our society is increasingly devided into the 'techno rich' vs the 'techno poor' - those who have access to the infrastructure and education necessary to use ICT's productively and those who, for economic, educational and cultural reasons, are excluded from the benefits of ICT's.
