Women's Empowerment in Practice: Lessons from the Ghana Productive Safety Net
Women’s and girls’ empowerment (WGE) is a key priority for the World Bank’s engagement in the Africa region. Gender equality has long been central to the World Bank’s twin goals of ending extreme poverty and boosting shared prosperity. The Bank has, therefore, made substantial investments aimed at closing gaps between men and women as well as advancing our understanding of what are the most effective ways to close those gaps. However, only recently has the Bank recognized WGE as a policy goal in its own right and a key strategy for human capital development in Africa. This highlights the need for guidance and tools to help task teams operationalize the WGE agenda in the region.
