This toolkit is designed for development practitioners, government officials, academics, monitoring and evaluation specialists, and researchers who are interested in measuring empowerment. It includes a framework for measuring empowerment, developed by COL, for use by development practitioners and action researchers to develop their own empowerment surveys and calculate an empowerment index. The Three-Dimensional Empowerment Framework was initially developed as a tool for creating a survey instrument to assess empowerment among male and female participants in COL’s Lifelong Learning for Farmers Programme.
