| Abstract: | Information and Communications Technology (ICT) is now a flavour of the day in international circles. However, ICT access is still a mirage in most rural and remote communities of the developing countries where at least 60% of the populace is dominated by women who are either complete housewives or live on petty farming and trading. However, both the women and the communities where they live have a lot to benefit from availability of ICT facilities. The paper highlights some of these benefits and also discusses the likely obstacles that could militate against easy deployment and use of ICT facilities. Some strategic measures to ease deployment and aid effective use of such facilities are also proposed |
