Despite some improvements in access and the rapid deployment of lower cost wireless technologies, not much has changed in rural areas of Indonesia. Infrastructure in rural areas is limited and existing services are expensive and practically outside of rural women's reach. Women still face enormous barriers and access to communications and information relevant to their realities is very limited. This report provides a gender perspective on the status of ICT in rural areas of Indonesia and presents the main findings of our gender analysis. The discussion is illustrated by case studies (see Appendices on p.42) developed by the core team responsible for the preparation of this report and based on the field research.application/pdftext/plainCC BY 3.0 IGOhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo/World BankACCESS OF WOMENACCESS TO CAPITALACCESS TO EDUCATIONACCESS TO INFORMATIONADULT MENAGRICULTURAL EXTENSIONAGRICULTURAL EXTENSION SERVICESAGRICULTURAL INFORMATIONAGRICULTURAL PRODUCTIONAGRICULTURAL RESEARCHAGRICULTUREBUSINESS INFORMATIONCAPACITY BUILDINGCAPACITY BUILDING FOR WOMENCITIESCIVIL SOCIETY ORGANIZATIONSCOLLABORATIONCOMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGIESCOMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGYCOMMUNITY BUILDINGCOMMUNITY DEVELOPMENTCOMPUTER HARDWARECOMPUTER LITERACYCOMPUTER SKILLSCONTENT DEVELOPMENTCOOPERATIVESCROPSDECISION MAKERSDECISION-MAKINGDEVELOPING COUNTRIESDEVELOPMENT POLICIESDEVELOPMENT POLICYDEVELOPMENT PROJECTSDIGITAL DIVIDEDISEASESDISSEMINATIONE-GOVERNMENTECONOMIC EMPOWERMENTELECTRONIC MAILEMPLOYMENTEMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIESEMPOWERING WOMENEMPOWERMENT OF WOMENEQUITABLE ACCESSEXTENSIONFACT SHEETFAMILY INCOMEFAMILY RESOURCESFARMERSFERTILITYFISHERIESFOCUS GROUP DISCUSSIONSFOOD PRODUCTIONFOOD SECURITYFOOD SUPPLIESFOREST MANAGEMENTGENDERGENDER ANALYSISGENDER CONCERNSGENDER CONSIDERATIONSGENDER DIMENSIONGENDER DISCRIMINATIONGENDER EQUALITYGENDER EQUALITY GOALSGENDER EQUALITY IN ACCESSGENDER ISSUESGENDER MAINSTREAMINGGENDER NEUTRALGENDER PERSPECTIVEGENDER RELATIONSGENDER SPECIFICGOVERNMENT AGENCIESGOVERNMENT DEPARTMENTSGRASSROOTS WOMENHEALTH CAREHEALTH WORKERSHOME AFFAIRSHOUSEHOLD INCOMEILLITERACYILLITERATE WOMENINCOMESINFORMATION CENTERSINFORMATION FOR WOMENINFORMATION SERVICESINFORMATION SYSTEMSINFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENTINSTRUCTIONLABOR FORCELABOR FORCE PARTICIPATIONLACK OF CAPACITYLACK OF KNOWLEDGELAND OWNERSHIPLEARNINGLIVELIHOODSLIVESTOCKLOCAL GOVERNMENTSMARKETINGMIGRATIONMILLENNIUM DEVELOPMENT GOALSMINISTRY FOR WOMENMINISTRY OF WOMENMOTHERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENTNATIONAL FAMILY PLANNINGNATIONAL GOVERNMENTNATURAL RESOURCESNEW TECHNOLOGIESNGOSNUTRITIONOPPORTUNITIES FOR WOMENPARTICIPATORY APPROACHPARTICIPATORY PROCESSPOLICY DEVELOPMENTPOLICY DIALOGUEPOLICY MAKERSPOLITICAL LEADERSHIPPOOR HOUSEHOLDSPOOR RURAL WOMENPOOR WOMENPOPULATION DENSITYPOSTERSPRACTITIONERSPRINT MEDIAPRIVATE SECTORPROGRAMSQUALITY OF LIFERADIORADIO PROGRAMRESEARCH RESULTSRESOURCE MOBILIZATIONRESOURCE NEEDSRESPECTRURAL AREASRURAL COMMUNITIESRURAL DEVELOPMENTRURAL POPULATIONSRURAL PRODUCTIONRURAL TELECOMMUNICATIONSRURAL WOMENSERVICE PROVIDERSERVICE PROVIDERSSEXSMALL ENTERPRISESSOCIAL AFFAIRSSOCIAL DEVELOPMENTSOCIAL NORMSSOCIAL WELFARESUPPORT SERVICESSUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENTTEENAGERSTELECENTERSTELECOMMUNICATIONTELECOMMUNICATIONSTELECOMMUNICATIONS ACCESSTELECOMMUNICATIONS SERVICESTELEDENSITYTELEPHONE ACCESSTELEPHONE CONNECTIONSTELEPHONE LINESTELEPHONESTELEVISIONTRAINING INITIATIVESUNDPUNESCOUNITED NATIONSUNIVERSAL ACCESSURBAN CENTERSUSER GROUPSWOMENWOMEN ENTREPRENEURSWOMEN FARMERSWOMEN IN AGRICULTUREWOMEN IN DEVELOPMENT
