According to the World Bank’s 2012 World Development Report: Gender Equality and Development, closing these gender gaps matters for development and policymaking. Greater gender equality can enhance economic productivity, improve development outcomes for the next generation, and make institutions and policies more representative.
Many gender disparities remain even as countries develop, which calls for sustained and focused public action. Corrective policies will yield substantial development payoffs if they focus on persistent gender inequalities that matter most for welfare. To be effective, these measures must target the root causes of inequality without ignoring the domestic political economy.
Gearing up development
How gender equality evolves as development proceeds can best be understood through the responses of households to the functioning and structure of markets and institutions—both formal (such as laws, regulations, and delivery of government services) and informal (such as gender roles, norms, and social networks).
VOICE Trust has given trainings and empowered thousands of Women and we focus on these 20 Women to support their Agribusiness. Each of them do different types of creation of value added products and all of them together produce organic manure. And the District Collector has asked us to set up an organic manure store and we have displayed the models and he appreciated our women Self Help Groups. These Women are seeking your help for next level and after that they will be sustainable through out their life time.
