Localization in women’s empowerment programming involves partnership with women focused/women’s rights organizations, building technical and leadership capacity of women leaders (civil society, political, business), leveraging local expertise, enhanced visibility or influence of local women leaders in priority settings, grounding program design to respond to local realities, and meaningful local participation in determining equitable gender outcomes.
Join the Women and Girls Global Consortium (WAGE) on August 9th from 10:00am to 11:30am EST for a virtual panel discussion on WAGE learnings from designing and implementing locally led integrated women’s empowerment programs in Central Asia, Moldova, Eswatini, and Sri Lanka. Our panel will feature Dr. Aisalkyn Botoeva, Research Evaluation and Learning Specialist, Search for Common Ground; Natalia Otel Belan, Regional Director Europe and Eurasia, Center for International Private Enterprise; Bindi Jhaveri, Senior Technical Advisor Financial Services, the Grameen Foundation USA; and Armand Perry, American Bar Association Rule of Law Initiative. The panel will discuss insights from initial program design—what worked and what could have been done better, challenges in implementing cross-sectoral programming, and promising practices for measuring women’s empowerment and how that should inform program design. A facilitated Q&A session will follow these presentations.
The event will contribute to WAGE Learning Agenda question 2a ‘What are some of the most promising practices in measuring women’s empowerment, including but not limited to WEE at the institutional, family, and individual levels?’ and Learning Agenda question 6 ‘How does wide stakeholder consultation and inclusion as well as targeted private sector engagement and public-private partnerships improve the development impact, local ownership and sustainability of project results and project learning for women’s empowerment programs?’
