Women Economic Empowerment
Empowering women in economic activities is a crucial path towards achieving gender equality and boosting the growth economies of countries.
Rationale of the Programme
The disadvantages and discrimination faced by women and girls severely limits their ability to lift themselves out of poverty. As a result, women are more likely to work in informal, low-wage jobs with exploitative and unequal working conditions, and have restricted access to affordable, quality financial products and services, like a savings account or small loan.
Investing in women’s economic empowerment sets a path for poverty reduction and for advanced gender equality. We empower women to build better livelihoods, earn more income, and create businesses that provide jobs and boost local economies.
We focus on supporting women to access financial services, participate in decent labour markets and thrive as entrepreneurs and small-scale producers. ODI is committed to changing the discriminatory social norms and economic structures, laws, policies, and practices that marginalize women.
We works with economically marginalized women who have no or limited access to and control over economic resources and opportunities. We work with workers, entrepreneurs, and small-scale producers, as well as cooperatives members.
