| Title | Measuring Women's Empowerment Projects: The Case of Armenia |
| Summary | Women’s empowerment programs are now implemented in a majority of the international organizations (IOs) around the world. This thesis examines the case of Armenia by analyzing three women’s empowerment projects implemented by international organizations to determine why some women’s empowerment programs are successful and why some fail. This study uses a qualitative comparative case study analysis using reports from the implementing IOs and interviews from the IO representative as well as coordinating local non-governmental organizations. From the literature written by practitioners and scholars the paper established a framework used to analyze the selected cases including: Access, Capacity, Participation, Action and a Long-term Sustainability plan. The findings conclude that the cooperation between IOs, civil society members and individuals are required in order for women to mobilize and take action. Moreover, a plan for long-term sustainability is also necessary in order for a women’s empowerment program to be successful. |
