Changing Women's Lives and Work - An analysis of the impacts of eight microenterprise projects (Paperback)

This study is an in-depth analysis of eight microenterprise projects in India, Bangladesh, Thailand, Peru, Guatemala, Honduras, Ghana and Tanzania. It attempts to describe the effects the different projects had on women's lives and to look at their impacts from the point of view of the women themselves.;The case studies are of projects undertaken by three agencies - ATI, specializing in the business approach; ITDG, specializing in the technological components of development; and UNIFEM, tending to use the community development approach. To the interest provided by such a comparison is added the opportunity of examining not only projects which attempted to achieve their aim through a single-aspect intervention (the "unidimensional" projects) but also those which clustered several interventions (the "multidimensional"). In general, the multidimensional projects achieved greater impacts.
