Women and Development Online: Project Operations

Uses of Information Technology for Social Benefit:

  • The Women and Development Online Information Project creates direct means to obtain and to disseminate practical information on current development issues affecting Thailand.
  • The Project has created a physical network of organisations dealing with development both globally and locally. It also has created an online network of their information for centralised, easy access and use.
  • The Project makes information technology more accessible to women, less-privileged groups, and developing regions that have not been able to access Internet-based communications. The aim is for them to be able to discuss their information and needs in the international community, rather than for them to be spoken about by outsiders.

    Operations in Thailand:

  • The Project works with representatives of Thai women's NGOs, research institutions, and information technology organisations in Bangkok and Chiang Mai. In addition to online collaboration we continue onsite, local collaboration several times per year.
  • Face-to-face onsite interactions between Project members and our affiliates in Thailand are to continue the academic and practical sides of our research. We also provide technical support to and exchange relevant information with NGOs and government agencies dealing with women, children, ethnic miniorities, and all those who directly confront the problems arising with the development process.
