This study was commissioned by Ministry of Finance, Planning and Economic Development and funded by Gates and Melinda Foundation through CARE International in Uganda. To validate the gender measures for women economic empowerment (WEE), the study applied both quantitative and qualitative approaches to identify the key gender measures for WEE for women in rural areas. The quantitative validation exercise relied on the findings of the study on WEE outcomes in SACCOs and Saving groups under the project for financial inclusion in rural areas (PROFIRA). The qualitative approach relied on expert interviews and stakeholder consultations. The validation highlighted that measuring women economic empowerment requires multiple methods approach.
