| Summary: | This book represents an effort to
present an easily accessible framework to readers,
especially those for whom empowerment remains a puzzling
development concern, conceptually and in application. The
book is divided into two parts. Part 1 explains how the
empowerment framework can be used for understanding,
measuring, monitoring, and operationalizing empowerment
policy and practice. Part 2 presents summaries of each of
the five country studies, using them to discuss how the
empowerment framework can be applied in very different
country and sector contexts and what lessons can be learned
from these test cases. While this book can offer only a
limited empirical basis for the positive association between
empowerment and development outcomes, it does add to the
body of work supporting the existence of such a
relationship. Perhaps more importantly, it also provides a
framework for future research to test the association and to
prioritize practical interventions seeking to empower
individuals and groups. |
