Women´s Economic Empowerment: Scope for Sida´s Engagement

The economic empowerment of women is fundamentally a
human rights and social justice issue. But it is also important
for poverty reduction, economic growth and human development.
In line with the ideas presented in this paper, Sida’s gender
equality work will prioritize women’s economic empowerment
in land and user rights, agricultural development, unpaid care
work, entrepreneurship and private sector development.
