Publication: Measuring Empowerment in Practice. Structuring Analysis and Framing Indicators (UN-DPADM, 29 Aug 2010)

This paper presents an analytic framework that can be used to measure and monitor empowerment processes and outcomes. The framework can be used to measure
empowerment at both the intervention level and the country level, as a part of poverty or governance monitoring. The paper illustrates how the ME framework can be applied, using examples from four development interventions. The paper also presents a draft module for measuring empowerment at the country level. The module can be used alone or be integrated into country-level poverty or governance monitoring systems.
