Important notice to KCAW 2021 participants:
On November 4, 2021, the Zoom link to access the Webinar was emailed to all those who registered for the Conference. Should you not have received it despite registration, please contact us at info@kfaw.or.jp.
Information and Communication Technology (ICT) plays a key role in every sphere of the present society. Along with the recent measures to fight against the COVID-19 pandemic, digitalization/automation is further promoted. A number of positive effects on human lives are emanating from ICT. Such positive effects include production of huge data which is of great help to formulate evidence-based policies, human power saving operations in factories and offices, large volume of bank transactions, generating employment, alleviating poverty and promoting social movements, and more. In addition, the conference will also consider the challenges that ICT imposes on our lives such as cyber security.
Furthermore, gender inequality will be tackled at the KCAW 2021. The UN/International Telecommunication Union (ITU) has indicated that there is a 17% gender gap in the Internet use globally. This means that 250 million fewer women are online than men.
The low participation of girls and women in science field has lead STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) education for them to receive high attention.
ICT is a potent force of development. In order to attain inclusive development and the principle of the SDGs to “leave no one behind,” the conference will discuss good practices of empowering women in NGOs and the private sector in Asia and the Pacific region.
The conference program is available here.
