Programmes information and communication
 
 

In 1998 CENWOR pioneered in introducing ICT to women’s NGOs in Sri Lanka and setting community information resources centres. Since then CENWOR has been in the forefront in addressing gender issues in ICT by undertaking research, advocacy, serving on policy bodies and introducing ICT to rural women’s organizations and establishing and popularising community information centres to enable women to access information.

The core activities of the information programme include the development of information resources and data bases, documentation, dissemination of information through publications, videos, workshops, seminars, conferences and the Internet. It also moderates a mailing list – women_sri_lanka@yahoogroups.com
