    The objective of this Initiative is to create a platform to promote, synthesize and generate evidence on “what works” for women’s economic empowerment. Under IWWAGE, we have set up a Centre of Excellence for Women’s Empowerment Collectives (CEWEC). CEWEC is a learning platform on evidence-based empowerment approaches and models of institutionalized gender and empowerment social infrastructure at multiple levels of governance in the livelihoods mission, and as a hub or resource base of feminist and SHG promoting organizations and their approaches.

    Background

    Self Help Groups (SHGs) have demonstrated their ability to transform the lives of women and contribute positively to their economic empowerment. Recognizing this potential of SHGs as change agents, the Government of India has been investing heavily in SHGs through the National Rural Livelihoods Mission (NRLM).
