ÉLAN RDC’s Women’s Economic Empowerment Learning Series: Case Study 2

Recognising poor women’s particular disadvantage in accessing and benefiting from economic opportunities, ÉLAN RDC seeks to facilitate changes to genderblind and/or discriminatory behaviours of market actors to realise sustainable results for poor and disempowered women, at scale.

In addition to the programme’s primary objective of poverty reduction, ÉLAN RDC aspires to contribute to women’s greater economic empowerment, recognising this as a meaningful vehicle for broader social empowerment and gender equality.
