GDD Gender Analysis Technical Resource

The Gender Digital Divide Gender Analysis Technical Resource has been developed to address the constraints to women’s equitable participation in the economy, with a specific focus on the gender digital divide and women’s access to and use of information and communication technology (ICT). The Technical Resource includes practical tools and resources to be used by USAID staff and partners as they integrate the gender digital divide into gender analyses with a WEEGE lens at global, country and regional strategic planning levels; into program and activity design and implementation; and into monitoring and evaluation.

This Technical Resource offers:

• A “how-to” document
• An overview of GDD
• Illustrative questions for integrating the gender digital divide into a gender analysis
• Insights into how closing the gender digital divide can help achieve USAID sector outcomes
• Suggested activities to undertake
• Illustrative sex-disaggregated indicators
• Key data and documents

It is designed to be used as a companion piece to the Gender Digital Divide Risk Mitigation Technical Note, which offers practical steps, strategies and resources to be used by USAID staff and partners to mitigate the risks associated with women and girls accessing and using ICT.
