Özet:

 

In 2015, the global community, via the United Nations, adopted the Sustainable
         Development Goals (SDG) to provide strategic direction towards the elimination
         of global poverty, safeguarding the environment and ensuring improved levels of
         wellbeing for all. The transition from the previous international goals offers the
         opportunity to emphasize and engage with gendered concerns, that is, the nexus
         should propel the agenda for gender. Specific questions are raised to determine
         whether gender and information and communication technologies (ICT) work
         towards the SDG. How can gender and ICT contribute to the SDG narrative,
         particularly in East and West Africa? These issues are analysed through a desktop
         review, using case studies, country reports, national, regional and continental
         policies. The findings reveal that inroads have been made to promote gender
         equality in ICT but these must be scaled up under the new dispensation of
         SDG. With this in mind, policy recommendations for improvement are offered.
