The document synthesises an e-discussion by SDC's employment and income (e+i) network on women's economic empowerment in M4P projects. In order to achieve Women's Economic Empowerment (WEE), through M4P or any other approach, the paper recognises the need to define economic empowerment and its main elements.
The four elements of WEE proposed in the paper were used as guide during the e-discussion as well as to structure this synthesis. Besides the discussion of these four elements, some practical tips were compiled from the discussion and are presented at the end of this synthesis paper.
