Together with two partner institutions, IICD and the International Development Research Centre (IDRC), CTA implemented a small grants fund known as GenARDIS, to support innovative activities that will contribute to the understanding and application of ICTs by and for rural women. The response to the first call for project proposals for nine grants of €5000 each was overwhelming – more than 360 submissions were received in less than two months, a clear indication of the interest in the topic.
