Abstract

This project will serve a dual purpose: to develop a process of learning and reflection on gender within IDRC's Acacia (Communities and the Information Society in Africa) program initiative; and to undertake an evaluation of Acacia's gender strategy. This will be accomplished in three phases. During the preparatory phase, existing practices will be reviewed at the program and the project level. The second phase will consist of workshops in English and French for raising awareness on gender, reflection and mutual learning, and preparing an evaluation framework. The third will consist of the evaluation itself. The overall goal is to improve gender integration and mainstreaming in the Acacia program.
