Abstract
Women’s groups models vary widely
across contexts but context-specific documentation is
limited. This wide variation coupled with inconsistent terms
used to describe these groups creates challenges in using
the evidence collected on group-based interventions to
inform policy. The typology presented in this brief focuses
on economic women’s group models implemented in South Asia.
Using program documents and evidence from evaluations, it
identifies implementation models, key characteristics, and
the implications of investing in women’s groups to improve
economic outcomes in South Asia.
