W+ Standard to Measure Women’s Empowerment within Existing & New Projects – Added Dimensions - WOCAN
What is the W+ Standard? WOCAN created the W+ Standard in response to the need to measure the impact of women’s empowerment and accelerate investments in women- particularly women’s groups - to address persistent gaps in their access to resources and capital and scale up solutions to climate change, food security and poverty. The W+ Standard provides metrics to measure women’s empowerment within existing and new projects. This platform enables governments, companies and individuals to achieve transparency and effectiveness using a results-based framework to ensure progress. It tracks women’s empowerment in six areas: time, income, health, leadership, education and food security. W+ Units provide a way for companies and governments to measure outcomes within their own projects or purchase units as a way to count towards women’s empowerment/gender targets. - See more at: http://www.wplus.org/#sthash.ySCsi6oQ.dpuf
