Government alone cannot address all the barriers that prevent women&#8217;s full participation in the economies of their countries. The private sector can and should be a partner in the development and growth of all citizens, including women.<\/p>\n<p>Microsoft, given its dominant position in the world of Information Technology (IT), needs to develop a specific program for girls and women that bridges the technology gap in developing economies.<\/p>\n<p>Areas of public\/private sector partnerships that could be developed include:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Training of micro and small businesses to improve their sustainability<\/li>\n<li>Opening access to more credit for women from existing banks<\/li>\n<li>Re-training women workers displaced by industry shifts<\/li>\n<li>Provision of IT training by companies in rural, as opposed to only urban, areas since the need is greater there; this can be done through partnerships with local governments and NGOs.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h1 style=\"text-align: center;\">Co-Chairs<\/h1>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\">Cynthia A.
