This blog was originally set up in January 2005 in the hope of proving useful as a tool to extend the work and reach of the GATNET: Gender and Transport Community of Practice project whose listserv is located at http://tinyurl.com/gatnet. Our reasons for launching this support project were set out at the time here - http://gatnet.blogspot.com/2005_01_01_archive.html.Over the course of the five

Background and use hints for first time visitors: The role of the Gatnet Forum is to provide a shared place in which we can post, keep track of, and share comments and ideas on important contributions to the gender/transport debate and policy shaping efforts of all involved. The Forum is essentially a convenient place to post and access outstanding contributions, which otherwise often seem

Friday, March 17, 2006 For us to be able to do a useful job for you on the wonderful new WT/GT joint edition, we need a bit of help – in the form of your quick answers to the following small question set: (To facilitate your response, all you need to do is pop in the item number and there place your answer, comments, in your email response – to gatnet@ecoplan.org.)

Editor’s note: This page reproduces a table from the latest Economist showing the distribution of “Mobile Phones in Africa”. It is posted here since the cooperative blog provides a handy place to stock images, and this is we think an important one in our context here. The future of communicating in support of Gatnet objectives is not limited to expensive and environmentally destructive air

Editor’s Note: It is not easy to get bright committed people who are working very hard on specific problems that are right before them, usually with neither time nor resources as needed to stretch beyond the challenges and priorities that are tying them up at any moment, to consider how they might somehow better “combine” – particularly if we are talking about something other than preparing an
