How can it be used to determine whether Information and Communication Technologies are really improving women's lives? Developed by the Association for Progressive Communication's (APC) Women's Networking Support Programme (WNSP), GEM is a toolkit for incorporating a gender analysis into evaluations of ICT projects. This evaluation tool targets ICT practitioners who have a commitment to gender equality and who are searching for appropriate gender analysis tools and frameworks for their ICT initiatives. The toolkit is comprised of four main sections: an overview of the evaluation process; strategies for integrating a gender analysis into all stages of planning an ICT project evaluation; instructions for designing a gender-sensitive information gathering strategy and for reporting on the findings; and suggested follow-up on the results of a gender-sensitive evaluation. GEM also contains concept documents, reference documents, bibliographies, links and a glossary. The kit was field-tested in Latin America, Asia, Africa and Europe and is currently being revised based on feedback from the testing phase.
