Gender issues in the use of computers in education in Africa
This report is a desk review, commissioned by Imfundo: Partnership for IT in education, which explores gender issues in the use of computers in education in Africa. Although there is currently little Africa specific research, European and north American research has consistently highlighted gender differences and inequalities in access to computers in education, in attitudes towards and use of computers, and on educational impact. This review draws on these findings, and those of broader research on gender in development and education in Africa, to highlight issues which are the basis for Gender Guidelines on the use of computers in schools and teacher education.

Mainstreaming Gender through Sector Wide Approaches in Education: Uganda Case Study
This Uganda study is one of three case studies commissioned by the Development Assistance Committee (DAC) of the OECD, examining the Mainstreaming of Gender through Sector Wide Approaches in Education. The other two focus on Ghana and India. The studies were commissioned in response to the recognition of the linkages between gender, poverty and education; and commitment to achieving the development targets through more effective assistance through SWAps. The three studies in education will be synthesised, and will feed into a broader study that looks also at gender mainstreaming in the health and agriculture sectors. [636]
