Dear Colleagues, Three new online resources are available at: http://www.womenictenterprise.org
1. Twelve case studies of women who have set up their own IT sector microenterprise. The cases include a history and profile of each enterprise, plus analysis of benefits, success factors, risks and good practice lessons. 2. A research guidance document reflecting on good practice in researching women's ICT-based enterprise for development. It also includes copies of all the research instruments used. 3. A report on the recently-held international workshop on "Developing Women's ICT-Based Enterprise". The report includes analysis of the Kudumbashree initiative that has created nearly 300 women's IT enterprises; results of knowledge-building exercises at the workshop on issues such as engaging sponsors, and solutions to key challenges in the area; plus presentations and reflections on content/process in running such workshops.
