"This book explores the intersection of gender, digitization, and resilience in international development. Building resilience is increasingly seen as crucial when planning and implementing development programmes, enabling communities to mitigate, adapt to, and recover from shocks and stresses in a manner that reduces chronic vulnerability and facilitates inclusive growth. Gender plays a crucial role in the resilience of development systems, as the exclusion of women from the workforce can make communities more vulnerable to economic shocks, perpetuating and even worsening current levels of poverty, instability and insecurity. Drawing on meta-data from across the world, as well as specific case studies from Ghana, Kenya and Malawi, this book reflects on these intersections and the potential of digitalization as a democratizing tool for improving the access of women and other marginalized groups to information vital for their participation in the process of development. By outlining the importance of digitization for addressing gender imbalances, this book will draw the evidentiary lines between the role of digitization for women, and through women, for resilience as a whole. This book will be of interest to development practitioners and policy makers, as well as to researchers with specialisms in gender inclusion, resilience, digitization, and international development"--
