Despite gender equality being recognized as a legitimate goal for humanity and stipulated in the Millennium Development Goals, progress is still slow, with gender norms and perceptions proving a challenge in many countries, including Cambodia.

Women are particularly vulnerable during times of economic downturn -- they're at greatest risk of losing their jobs and, in many developing countries, girls are taken out of school to help support their families. Yet, paradoxically females hold the best hope for improving local economies, according to leading voices that emerged at the World Economic Forum in Davos in January.

From agriculture to industrial products, consumer goods and professional services, information and communications technologies (ICT) matter. Firms can apply them to save costs when they conduct market research, organize export processes, and manage payments and customer relations. Recognizing the potential of ICTs is one thing; applying them to boost the bottom line is another. Faced with a sometimes bewildering choice of e-business solutions, small exporters need to know which applications will boost visibility, improve efficiency or enhance products. They cover a wide range: developing a web site; using business-to-business e-marketplaces; using mobile phones to manage supply and distribution chains; and more. Putting "e" to work for trade doesn't happen automatically: countries need ...
