The Programme will develop solutions to the structural barriers that prevent women and girls from engaging freely and productively in the economy. Sabalaa (meaning 'powerful woman') will adopt a multidimensional approach to Women's Economic Empowerment and address: 1. Issues of access: to resources, assets and opportunities for women and girls across Nepal to participate and benefit from economic opportunities across all sectors. 2. Issues of agency: to create an environment in which women are perceived, both by themselves and by others, as having full ownership over their income, assets and the economic opportunities available to them. The Programme Outcome is: Greater evidence and capacity on Women's Economic Empowerment driving improvements in programming and policy, with sustainable solutions to support women's economic empowerment identified, tested and adopted. The Programme Impact is: A more enabling environment for women and girls in which their economic potential is harnessed, resulting in more inclusive growth and poverty reduction.
