dc.description.abstractLocalisation 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.en
