To understand the extent to which its projects have contributed to women’s empowerment, Oxfam has developed a measurement tool based on a composite index – the Women’s Empowerment Index. This builds on experience and tools from the Women’s Empowerment in Agriculture Index (WEAI) and the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI).
- Section one of this report presents the framework that has been developed to measure women’s empowerment.
- Section two presents the characteristics of the index and provides suggestions as to how it might be applied.
- Section three presents the five steps involved in defining and constructing the Women’s Empowerment Index.
- Section four discusses future evolution of the measurement tool.
