Information

The Women’s Empowerment in Agriculture Index (WEAI) is the first-ever direct measure of women’s empowerment and inclusion in the agriculture sector. Since its launch in 2012, WEAI has grown into a suite of quantitative and qualitative research tools and has been used by over 246 organizations across 58 countries worldwide to track progress toward women’s empowerment and gender equality.

Through a series of evidence briefs, IFPRI aims to analyze and synthesize what has been learned from existing WEAI studies and data to date. This webinar, co-organized by USAID, the CGIAR GENDER Impact Platform, and IFPRI-Bangladesh, will mark the launch of the first two briefs, one on the use cases of WEAI in USAID projects worldwide and the other on how WEAI has informed and supported the design of policies and programs in Bangladesh.
