英文摘要 | E-government initiatives are pursued by all countries all over the world, but there is an indicator that E-government projects have gabs in dealing with gender digital divide especially in developing countries and rural areas in industrialized countries. This research aims to review experiences on integration of gender equality issues with E-government projects all over the world, and introduce justifications for the need of poor women to access E-government information and services. In Jordan there are initiatives related to this topic such as E-government project, women's support centers, knowledge stations; governmental centers supported by the Jordanian Ministry of Information and Communication Technology, which offer training on diverse ICT skills in rural areas in Jordan for citizens with minimal or low charge or even for free, and king Abdullah II housing facilities for poor citizens in rural areas in Jordan. This research explores all previously mentioned initiatives to suggest how E-government project in Jordan can empower poor women in rural areas with minimal or no ICT skills, and with no computers or Internet at their homes. This study interviewed twenty women who utilized support from previously mentioned foundations and concluded that E-government project in Jordan did not reach the required level of service towards helping in bridging the gender divide and help poor women improve their lives. Conclusions and future work are stated at the end. |
