The APC WNSP and GKP Gender and ICT Awards
The APC WNSP and GKP Gender and ICT Awards
Specifically, the Awards objectives are to:
- Recognise gender and ICT initiatives globally and provide further impetus for others to mainstream gender in the field of ICTs for women's empowerment, and therefore support our advocacy work.
- Provide a much-needed venue to recognise community-based or small-scale initiatives designed and implemented by women and women's organisations/networks; while providing recognition too to larger scale
but cost-effective multi-stakeholder initiatives
- Provide much needed opportunities to develop new collaborations/partnerships and opportunities for upscaling small-scale
and community-based initiatives.
The awards are open to projects from all around the world.
The Gender and ICT Awards will be launched, and winners will be showcased and celebrated, at a special event and venue parallel to the World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) in Geneva, Switzerland, from December 10-12, 2020.

- Outstanding Multi-stakeholder Initiative
- Global/regional

One representative from each of the 4 winning initiatives will be flown to Geneva for the awards celebrations in December.
