Experts gathered at the meeting highlighted the following points: - Government of Myanmar, similar to the efforts undertaken in many nations, should ensure women have an online space that is safe and empowering. - Experiments carried out by Ooredoo and their partner NGOs in installing lighthouses (telecentres) have illustrated the need to train a large number of people in digital skills. - Innovative initiatives such as the “His or Her SIM” and digital literacy training for women entrepreneurs and teachers require replication and scale-up. - E-Society development should align with national priorities pursued by various ministries - The various provisions of the Telecom master plan require to be implemented, not only by the government, but by all multi-stakeholders concerned. - The need for a comprehensive Cyber Crime Act is felt; however, enactment of such a law should be complimented by mass education on the limitations and opportunities of the Internet. - National e-Government Plans require leverage of current efforts on gender mainstreaming by other ministries. - Civic and political rights cannot be divorced from socio-economic development; hence, incorporating gender issues in the policy design is imperative. - Gender disaggregation of data on internet use is important. One should be able to collect evidence on a) connectivity b) price c) quality of service, and d) product choice. It is also important to determine benefits accrued by men vis-à-vis women and urban market vis-à-vis the rural market. The meeting ended with Director Aung reiterating the points made by DG U Soe Thein for gender-focussed policy development in Myanmar, while also assuring the participants of governmental commitment to ensure equal access to all.
