Item Gender evaluation methodology for internet and ICTs : a learning tool for change and empowerment(Association for Progressive Communications (APC), Melville, ZA, 2005) Ramilo, Chat Garcia; Cinco, CheekayItem Facilitators guide for GEM workshops(Association for Progressive Communications (APC), Melville, ZA, 2010) Angela M. Kuga Thas; Chat Garcia Ramilo; Dafne Sabanes PlouGender evaluation methodology (GEM) for Internet and ICTs was begun in 2001 for development practitioners in 25 countries from Latin America, Asia, Africa and Central and Eastern Europe. This facilitators guide is a complementary guide to the GEM ICTs manual published in 2005. The new suite of publications that accompany the manual are based on years of experience in facilitating GEM workshops in many countries. Though GEM was initially developed for evaluating and planning projects using ICTs, experience demonstrates that GEM can be used generally.Item Gender analysis for ICT localisation initiatives(Association for Progressive Communications (APC), Melville, ZA, 2011) Angela M. Kuga Thas; Chat Garcia RamiloLocalisation of ICT is the process of adapting and customising software so that a specific community or locale can use it. The Gender Analysis for ICT Localisation Initiatives guide reflects the collective lessons of localisation initiatives in Asia which used Association for Progressive Communication (APC) Gender Evaluation Methodology for Internet and ICTs (GEM) to strengthen their gender perspective in project planning, monitoring and evaluation. Without a gender analysis, and without taking into account gender considerations in the development and deployment of technological infrastructure and software, including the effects of past and current discriminatory practices, localisation initiatives could widen the digital gap between women and men.Item Gender evaluation for telecentres(Association for Progressive Communications (APC), Melville, ZA, 2011) Dafne Sabanes PlouThe Gender Evaluation for Telecentres guide reflects lessons learned from telecentres in Colombia, Mali, Peru, the Philippines and Uganda, all of which used Association for Progressive Communication (APC) Gender Evaluation Methodology for Internet and ICTs (GEM) to strengthen their gender perspective in project planning, monitoring and evaluation. APC helps people gain access to the internet where there is none or it is unaffordable, providing hands-on experience, along with efforts to help governments shape appropriate policy. As a starting point, awareness of gender issues should be addressed early in the evaluation process across all evaluation team members.Item Gender evaluation for rural ICT for development(Association for Progressive Communications (APC), Melville, ZA, 2011) Angela M. Kuga ThasThe Gender Evaluation for Rural ICT for Development guide reflects on questions and lessons learned by practitioners of the gender evaluation methodology (GEM). Less commonly addressed in ICTD projects are gender relations and power dynamics in rural communities that complicate how ICTs are controlled, and how access to these technologies is distributed. The guide outlines what is possible within existing resource constraints to identify workable solutions to challenges in rural ICTD projects, and to promote a "learning for change" culture. The guide complements the GEM manual, developed within the Association for Progressive Communication (APC) women's programme.
