According to the World Bank [2004] the main key services fail poor people – in access, quantity and quality. This necessitates a set of development targets known as Millennium Development Goals [MDG]. These call for halving of the global poverty and broad improvements in human development by 2015. The Millennium Declaration adopted by UN in 2000 underscored the urgency of ensuring that the benefits of new technologies, especially Information and Communication Technologies [ICTs] are made available to all. One resource that liberates people from poverty and empowers them is knowledge. It is also now well understood that any attempt to improve the quality of life of people in developing countries would be incomplete without progress towards the empowerment of women. Information and Communication Technologies [ICTs] are a diverse set of technological tools and resources to create, disseminate, store, bring value‐addition and manage information. The ICT sector consists of segments as diverse as telecommunications, television and radio broadcasting, computer hardware, software and services and electronic media, for example, the internet and electronic mail.
