A Critical Feminist Policy Analysis of Africa's Gender-Responsive Policies in the Digital Era: Enabling or Hindering Women's Economic Empowerment?
Great presentation. I agree with Guilia that gender analysis will be useful, but also have an intersectional lens, example what which stakeholders in which locations are adopting, etc. (if your data allows)
Great presentation. What are the issue around data protection and privacy, especially, women who provide their data. What mechanisms are I place to ensure that other partners/ stakeholders do not use their data without their consent?
Thank you for your insightful comment. We agree that legal and institutional frameworks for gender equality are often in place in African countries. However, as you rightly point out, the key challenge lies in effective implementation. While our research did not explicitly focus on the connections between specific cases and local women's movements and networks, we recognize their crucial role in driving change. Your suggestion to explore these connections further is invaluable. We believe that a deeper understanding of the synergies and potential issues between local organizations and government agencies is essential to inform more effective implementation strategies. This will be a valuable avenue for future research.
Thank you for your insightful comment. We appreciate your recognition of the importance of our research and its recommendations. To ensure the maximum impact of our findings, we have developed a comprehensive dissemination strategy. For countries like Uganda, we have already initiated discussions with representatives at the Gender Ministry to explore potential collaborations and policy implications. We are actively pursuing similar engagements with stakeholders in other countries, and we will provide a detailed overview of our dissemination strategies in the full paper.
