View source for Annex 24.2 Outreach of BGP to women: estimate of women who became empowered due to BGP activities

Criteria (at least one to be met):

# Women who got more knowledge and skills, and did apply
# Women whose income increased / contributed to increased hh income --> more decison-making and increased well-being
# Women in leadership positions, other than being "paper members" 
# 4.Women who increased interactions with others, improved mobility and with greater social networks

'''NB:''' women who only became WMG member, without participating in other activities, are excluded, as WMG membership alone seems not enough to become empowered. The same applies for women who only attended Farmers Fields Days or other demonstrations.
