(CENGESA) launched on July 3rd an international research consortium
entitled Pathways of Women’s Empowerment . Based on the observation
that “across the globe women seem to rise above the most challenging
circumstances” as Pr. Takyiwaa Manuh from CENGESA pust it, the
consortium aims to identify how women’s lives can be enhanced through
global policy processes.
Pathways of Women's Empowerment is funded by the Department for
International Development (DFID), it will run for five years, and will
involve research institutes from five different countries, namely in
Egypt, Brazil, Bengladesh, Ghana, and the UK where the Institute for
Development Studies (IDS) will act as co-ordinator. UNIFEM, the United
Nations Fund for Women, and CARE will also support this initiative at
regional and international levels.
