“Engage” works primarily to support the leadership capacity of informal sector women in Bangladesh, Ethiopia, Haiti, India, and Tanzania as they address key issues they are facing through asset-based, feminist approaches. Key areas include:

  • the future of work
  • participation in community governance
  • women’s leadership and feminist approaches
  • young women as entrepreneurs and agents of community change
  • climate resilience and adaptation
  • asset-based approaches to reducing urban and rural poverty through economic development
