GRACE (Gender Research in Africa into ICTs for Empowerment) is a research network of 14 research teams in 12 countries (2) of about 30 women and men that formed in 2004 from a call to African academics and activists by the International Development Research Centre (IDRC) and Association for Progressive Communications (APC). The GRACE Network is committed to equality and social justice. At their first meeting in Johannesburg in 2004, they prepared a collective agenda of research about African women's sense of agency and empowerment with Information Communication Technologies (ICTs). Their in-depth research reports are at the GRACE website (3) and synthesized in the 17 chapters of the book, African Women & ICTs: Investigating Technology, Gender and Empowerment (Buskins & Webb, 2009).
