Today, everyone is aware that equitable and sustainable development cannot take place without the involvement of women throughout the process. As a result, policy-makers can improve the situation of rural women with regard to ICTs by creating an institutional environment that promotes ICT development and electrification of rural settlements. Policy makers could also encourage and finance the development of national language software with the possibility of translating it into other languages. With this software, women could be inspired by successful development experiences in agriculture.
