Information Communication Technologies (ICTs) have been exhorted as agents of change to empower women. This paper critiques how ‘development’ is framed within the context of gender and ICT for development (ICT4D). It reviews some theoretical alternatives to economic determinism surrounding the ICT4D discourse and concludes by highlighting the postcolonial framework to address not only the focus on economic aspects of development but as an important theoretical lens to critique ‘development’ and ‘empowerment’ in the gender and ICT4D field.
