Networking for Change:
The APCWNSP’s First 8 Years
Writers: Karen Banks, Sally Burch, Irene Leon, Sonja Boezak and Liz Probert

WE ARE WOMEN from more than 20 countries from North, South, East and West. Technicians, media communicators, information providers, project managers, web developers, financial workers, coordinators and executive directors — we have decided to work together online to build a strong Internet-based network that will support other women's networking initiatives. We are the APC Women's Networking Support Programme.

Eight years after we made our first step together, we offer these articles which chronicle the history of the APCWNSP and examines how we grew from a small band of women to a global network that served as an incubator of networking initiatives world-wide. We also examine emerging issues and challenges in gender and ICT policy advocacy and in the integration of new and old technologies to strengthen women's networking. Finally, we share the story of the WomenAction whose gestation and emergence into an effective global information and communications network we are very proud to have played a key part in.
