Great project
I believe congratulations are in order to WOUGNET for this great project.
I am particularly interested in the Access4Dev projects that they run where women in the rural areas are availed information that would have otherwise not been available to them, a thing WOUGNET might look into is SMS based campaigns as this will reduce their costs are reach a wider net of their audience.
In terms of accountability and transparency, improving access to information to rural women will definitely have a knock effect of a populace that will know what obligations of the authorities are and demand them.
I'd like to see more input from the rural folk into the project, though the issue of costs would have to be figured out first.
In terms of training needs of WOUGNET, they can tap into the local tech community, I know there is a big one in Kampala to help them with that, overall this is a great project.
