UNESCO and Hewlett-Packard have launched a joint project to help reduce brain drain in Africa by providing grid computing

technology to universities in Algeria, Ghana, Nigeria, Senegal and Zimbabwe.

I.S.G. Mudenge, Zimbabwe’s Minister of Higher and Tertiary Education, took part in the launch of the “Piloting Solutions for Reversing

Brain Drain into Brain Gain for Africa” project, at UNESCO Headquarters on 20 November 2006. The representatives of Senegal and

Ghana to UNESCO, as well as Peter Smith, Assistant UNESCO Director-General for Education, and Bernard Meric, Senior Vice President

of Hewlett Packard for Europe, Middle East and Africa, took part in the launch (9.30 a.m. – 12 noon, Room VIII) of the project to provide

university laboratories and research centres with systems of interconnections that will enable students and faculty to work with

researchers and professionals around the world.

• Build capacity of engineering talent in order to improve hemispheric competitiveness

• Contribute to creating holistic, entrepreneurial skills needed to face the multidimensional challenges of the global economy

• Enable mobility of both people and work

• Foster effective partnership between industry, government, academia, professional associations, and others to advance engineering capacity, quality and integration throughout the Americas

The Mandate "The question we have to ponder here is simply this: how does a

society hope to transform itself if it 'shoots itself in the foot' by squandering more than half of its capital investment? The truth of the matter is that societies that recognize the real and untapped socieoeconomic, cultural and political power of women thrive. Those that refuse to value and leverage women's talent, energies and unique perspectives remain developmental misfits. And I daresay that it is not difficult to demonstrate this with a growing body of evidence."

President Kagame of Rwanda, February ‘07Gender, Nation Building and the Role of Parliaments

"Countries that do not fully capitalize on one-half of their human resources are clearly undermining their competitive potential." Women's Empowerment: Measuring the Global Gender Gap Augusto Lopez-Claros,, and Saadia Zahidi, WEF's Global Competitiveness Program, 2005

Without access to information technology, an understanding of its significance and the ability to use it for social and economic gain, women in the developing world will be further marginalized from the mainstream of their communities, their countries and the world.

USAID, 2001. “Gender, Information Technology and Developing Countries: An Analytic Study”. Washington, DC

The Mandate (continued)

The reality is that no country in the world, no matter how advanced, has achieved true gender equality, as measured by comparable decision-making power, equal opportunity for education and advancement, and equal participation and status in all walks of human endeavour. ..measuring disparities is a necessary step towards implementing corrective policies. Yet measurement is challenging and country performance difficult to asess using disaggregated and diverse data for each nation.Women's Empowerment: Measuring the Global Gender Gap

• Girls and women must have access to education

• Technology can further marginalize women or accelerate their empowerment

• Women need to acquire and use ICT skills

• Corporations, governments, education institutions and NGOs must work together to achieve breakthroughs

Educating women is key to capacity building
