E-Government and Gender Digital Divide: The Case of Jordan

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. Jordan embarked on many initiatives that are related to women and rural areas development and support. 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 fifty 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.
