What's the Effect of Grassroots Women Run NGOs?

Are NGOs run by women better suited to meet the needs of women? I asked myself this question while developing wiki (www.global-womens-network.org) content. There's an interesting study conducted by researchers at John's Hopkins University which finds that female leadership grounded in a gendered perspective can better relate to the needs of other women. What seems particularly interesting about the study is that it focused on grassroots organizations rather than large well known NGOs, which have already been the subject of documentation. Considering there are over a million NGOs in India, this study only touches the surface....and makes me wonder if similar studies have taken place in any other countries?
