Gender Analysis and Evaluation of Akshaya Project in Kerala, India

What is it about?

This article is based on a study of an ICT Project of the Kerala, India. The study finds that there are indeed varied kinds of gender differences in the impact of the project, and that the differences are pretty sharply defined, especially within the entrepreneur group. It also suggests that with a somewhat greater degree of gender sensitivity and some flexibility in the project design, some of the problems that women entrepreneurs have been facing could have been addressed without much trouble even within the existing project design.
