USTDA received a request for funding from the Coalition Provisional Authority for a feasibility study on the development and establishment of a Women's Information and Communi-cations Technology (ICT) Training and On-Line Learning Center in Iraq (Women's ICT Center).  The feasibility study will develop and market a project implementation plan for the Women's ICT Center and examine possibilities for developing elements of E- and D-learning in Iraq.  The Women's ICT Center will be equipped with U.S. sourced equipment and housed in, and managed by, the Iraqi Institute for Computing and Informatics, a university that is part of the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research's network of institutions.  The establishment of the Women's ICT Center will provide targeted training in the use of ICT to Iraqi women.  The feasibility study will be expected to produce results in three of the USTDA's development indicators:  human capacity building, technology transfer and productivity improvement, and infrastructure and industrialization.
