LAC-DROLET, Canada, — “This prize will be of great help to us in building our capacity to promote the rights of women farmers through the demystification of new ICTs, and through gender advocacy,” said a GenARDIS participant from the Democratic Republic of the Congo. A couple of months down the road, the GenARDIS project has made much progress. An evaluation to assess the achievements of the GenARDIS grants carried out with grantees and honourable mentions in 2006 was just released. The report found that these small grants are making “important inroads in the ICT for development field” in African, Caribbean and the Pacific countries and “consciously encourage and engender the adoption and application of ICT.”
