Using a rights and freedom-based approach as a conceptual framework, this report analyzes a sample of projects conducted under the Promoting Women In Development program conducted by the International Center for Research on Women (ICRW) and CEDPA. The discussion covers four key areas: mobilizing community participation and influencing institutional policies; leveling the field for women's increased economic participation, including the right to productive resources and employment; equity in financial resources and enterprise development; and expanded opportunities for participation and advocacy in sustainable resource management.
