Gender and Innovation

"For any development process to prosper, it is essential to have innovative capacities which ensure the inclusion of tangible and intangible innovations, at the local level into national policies. While gender equality is vital to the accomplishment development of goals, the visibility, however, of women’s work in the growth process is very low; their work unseen and unrecognised. The International Development Research Center of Canada (IDRC-CRDI) Fund for Gender and Innovation is playing a pioneering role in identifying and understanding the role of women under the Innovation, Technology and Society Programme."
