Gender Digital Equality In ICT Interventions In Health

The objective of this paper is to explore the gender dimensions of e-Health interventions in developing countries. A select number of projects funded by Canada‘s International Development Research Centre (IDRC) are systematically analyzed to draw out good practices in integrating gender analysis in e-Health research projects. We conclude by summarizing the good practices and applying them to analyze new projects to ensure gender is integrated adequately. The paper underscores that e-Health interventions in developing countries need to better articulate the social processes of inequality that affect access and use by men and women.
