The Commonwealth of Learning (COL) conducted a post implementation study in 2023 on female farmers and female entrepreneurs who were trained as part of its development intervention in Malawi and Sri Lanka between 2019 and 2022. The results of this study will influence how COL approaches its future gender-based interventions on women’s economic security. The intervention on which the study is based was designed to enable disadvantaged communities and partner organisations to effectively implement global commitments towards gender equality and women’s empowerment .
