Abstract
Achieving Gender Equality and increasing women’s and girls’ empowerment are core components of the Commonwealth of Learning’s (COL) mission, and the Empowering Women and Girls (EWG) project plays a pivotal role in advancing these goals. Funded by Global Affairs Canada (GAC) as part of the Canadian Feminist International Assistance Policy (FIAP), which prioritises women and girls in its international development efforts, this initiative is being implemented by COL in collaboration with eight local organisations across Bangladesh, Malawi, Mozambique, Pakistan and Sri Lanka. The EWG project is now in its second year of implementation, and it has contributed to significant changes at the village, community and national levels. These changes are particularly evident across the project’s three key pathways of change, reinforcing its holistic approach to enhancing education and skills development, strengthening economic participation and improving health outcomes. By fostering sustainable social transformation, this initiative is actively contributing to the creation of a more equitable and inclusive society. This report provides an analysis of the progress towards achieving the outcomes during the second year of the EWG project, which builds on the significant groundwork laid in its first year.
