Towards gender equality: A novel index to measure the empowerment of women in livestock keeping households
The Women’s Empowerment Livestock Index (WELI) is tailored for areas where livestock farming is prominent, aiming to assess the impact of livestock interventions on women's empowerment. By identifying effective interventions, the index seeks to improve empowerment opportunities for women in the sector, thereby enhancing household livelihoods, nutrition, and gender equity. The tool comes in three versions, accommodating varying resources and survey lengths, with the full version capturing extensive data beyond index estimation. For access and guidance on implementation, contact the WELI team directly.
