19. The Mandate (continued) 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

20. Current State 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
