Supporting women’s economic empowerment
A review of small-scale projects found that women’s economic gains tend to be higher where men have been particularly severely affected by conflict (O’Connell, 2011). However, even where women assume new economic roles during conflict, these do not necessarily improve gender relations afterwards, especially where men continue to control economic resources, are resistant to women’s empowerment, or use sexual and gender-based violence (O’Connell, 2011). Interventions that simultaneously address women’s strategic interests (e.g. participation in decision-making inside and outside the home) and their practical needs have achieved success in some contexts (O’Connell, 2011). Natural resource management can serve as an entry point for women’s engagement in peacebuilding, including through decision-making on natural resource management and economic empowerment opportunities in natural resource sectors (UNEP, 2013).
Another review of economic recovery programmes in post-conflict contexts finds limited evidence of what works on the integration of women in economic recovery programmes (Justino et al., 2012). There was no evidence that employment generation programmes were able to support the continuing involvement of women in labour markets post-conflict. This could be due to lack of evaluations or failure to design programmes effectively. There was also limited rigorous evidence on the impact of microfinance schemes on post-conflict economic recovery, gender equality or peacebuilding. While there are positive results on women’s empowerment and contributions to household welfare and community development in some contexts, they were not generalizable across post-conflict countries. The evidence on community-driven development programmes, while limited, indicates that they have the potential to improve women’s status through greater involvement in local decision-making processes
