Gender, Enterprise, and Finance: The Way Forward

Book ID: ISED-243

Book Type: Soft Copy

Description

"Action for gender empowerment depends on the political will to gain it. But here, the underlying question is, how economic empowerment is perceived. If it is on the enterprise route, one need to follow the rules of the game. The focus need to be on the value chain. In order to act on the value chain, particular capabilities are need. The prime question for policy, therefore, is, whether such capabilities exist today. If not, they need to be imparted. Who will impart that? Here the question of repetitiveness of institutions and their initiatives need to be examined thoroughly. The ultimate principle need to be a principle of comparative advantage:'competence to be counted where it counts most, and incompetence, where it counts least’."
