Narayan, DeepaNarayan, Deepa2012-06-072012-06-0720050-8213-6057-4https://hdl.handle.net/10986/7441Poverty reduction on a large scale depends on empowering those who are most motivated to move out of poverty-poor people themselves. But if empowerment cannot be measured, it will not be taken seriously in development policy making and programming. Building on the "Empowerment and Poverty Reduction Sourcebook," this volume outlines a conceptual framework that can be used to monitor and evaluate programs centered on empowerment approaches. It presents the perspectives of 27 distinguished researchers and practitioners in economics, political science, sociology, psychology, anthropology, and demography, all of whom are grappling in different ways with the challenge of measuring empowerment. The authors draw from their research and experiences at different levels, from households to communities to nations, in various regions of the world. Measuring Empowerment is a resource for all who are interested in approaches to poverty reduction that address issues of inequitable power relations.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOACCESS TO INFORMATIONACCESS TO JUSTICEACCESS TO LANDACCESS TO MARKETSACCESS TO SERVICESACCOUNTABILITYAGRICULTUREBASIC HEALTHBASIC HEALTH CAREBASIC SERVICESBUSINESS ENVIRONMENTCAPACITY BUILDINGCHILD LABORCITIZENCITIZEN PARTICIPATIONCITIZEN VOICECITIZENSCIVIL LIBERTIESCIVIL SOCIETYCIVIL SOCIETY ORGANIZATIONCIVIL SOCIETY ORGANIZATIONSCIVIL SOCIETY PARTICIPATIONCOMMUNITY DEVELOPMENTCOMMUNITY INVOLVEMENTCOMMUNITY LEVELCOMMUNITY-DRIVEN DEVELOPMENTCONFLICTCORRUPTIONCORRUPTION PERCEPTIONSDECISION MAKINGDEMOCRACYDEVELOPMENT COOPERATIONDEVELOPMENT EFFECTIVENESSDEVELOPMENT GOALSDEVELOPMENT ORGANIZATIONSDIMENSIONS OF POVERTYDOMESTIC VIOLENCEECONOMIC CONDITIONSECONOMIC DEVELOPMENTECONOMIC REFORMSEMPOWERMENTEQUITABLE ACCESSETHNIC CONFLICTFARMERFINANCIAL ASSETSFINANCIAL INSTITUTIONSFINANCIAL SERVICESFINANCIAL SYSTEMSFORESTSGOOD GOVERNANCEHOUSEHOLDSHOUSINGHUMAN DEVELOPMENTHUMAN DEVELOPMENT REPORTHUMAN RIGHTSINCOMEINEQUALITYINFORMAL SECTORINSTITUTIONAL CHANGEINSTITUTIONAL REFORMINSTITUTIONAL RELATIONSINSURANCEINTERNAL ACCOUNTABILITYINTERNATIONAL AGENCIESINTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENTINTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONSINTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATIONSINVESTMENT CLIMATELABOR MARKETSLIVESTOCKLOCAL GOVERNANCELOCAL KNOWLEDGELOCAL LEVELSMARKET ECONOMIESMULTILATERAL DEVELOPMENTMULTILATERAL DEVELOPMENT INSTITUTIONSNATIONAL LEVELNGONONGOVERNMENTAL ORGANIZATIONSPARTICIPATIONPARTICIPATORY POVERTY ASSESSMENTPERCEPTIONS INDEXPOLITICAL ACCOUNTABILITYPOLITICAL COMPETITIONPOLITICAL ECONOMYPOLITICAL INSTITUTIONSPOLITICAL PARTIESPOLITICAL STRUCTURESPOORPOOR COMMUNITIESPOOR COUNTRIESPOOR PEOPLEPOOR WOMENPOVERTYPOVERTY REDUCTIONPOVERTY REDUCTION STRATEGYPOVERTY REDUCTION STRATEGY PAPERPOWERLESSNESSPRIVATE SECTORPUBLIC FUNDSPUBLIC INFORMATIONPUBLIC POLICIESPUBLIC POLICYPUBLIC SECTOR GOVERNANCEQUALITY OF LIFERISKRULE OF LAWRURALRURAL DEVELOPMENTRURAL ROADSSAFETY NETSANITATIONSAVINGSSOCIAL ACCOUNTABILITYSOCIAL CAPITALSOCIAL DEVELOPMENTSOCIAL DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENTSOCIAL EXCLUSIONSOCIAL GROUPSSOCIAL INSURANCE PROGRAMSSTRUCTURAL ADJUSTMENTTRAINING PROGRAMSTRANSPARENCYUNEQUAL ACCESSYOUTHWorld Bank10.1596/0-8213-6057-4
