Uganda: Study on women's access to ICTs and empowerment

Much of the discourse on women and information and communication technologies (ICTs) seems to indicate that as a result of using these technologies, marginalised groups like rural women can get empowered. ResearcherPatricia Litho conducted a case study of an ICT project that was established in Uganda with an aim of economically empowering women, to asses the extent to which rural women were able to access ICTs, and if as a result they were empowered as claimed by the project reports.
