The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) Office of Gender Equality and Women’s Empowerment within the Economic Growth, Education and Environment Bureau engaged FHI 360 through the Feed the Future Catalyzing Partnerships for Scale award to support the development of a strategic framework for promoting women’s economic empowerment and equality (WE3). The purpose of the framework is to advance gender equality and female empowerment as goals in and of themselves and as means toward the elimination of extreme poverty. The WE3 framework will be a key and complementary resource to help advance the overall USAID gender equality and female empowerment policy. FHI 360 is working closely with USAID to develop the framework and corresponding resources to enable women’s economic empowerment and equality in USAID programs and in collaboration with global partners.
