As well as providing services to international agencies and institutions, WIGSAT works with partners in the non-profit and profit sectors.

We are on the Steering Committee of the International Task Force on Women and ICT (ITF). The Taskforce is a community of excellence made up of global leaders and practitioners to create synergy towards increasing women's full participation in ICTs:. The network promotes communication and information exchange; increased sharing of research, knowledge and resources; development of a series of collaborative activities; and promotion of recommendations for policy and programming. Its four areas of focus are: Education, Employment, Entrepreneurship and Leadership.
