Background<\/h3>\n

In partnership with the United Kingdom\u2019s Department for International Development<\/a> and The William and Flora Hewlett Foundation<\/a>, IDRC\u2019s\u00a0Growth and Economic Opportunities for Women (GrOW) <\/a>program is pleased to announce a call for proposal concerning the Growth and Economic Opportunities for Women (GrOW) program.<\/p>\n

Opportunity<\/h3>\n

GrOw has identified three themes for research. This call for research specifically looks at Theme 3 \u2013 a systematic review of the evidence of the effects of women\u2019s economic empowerment on economic growth.<\/p>\n

There is evidence that more equal economic participation of women would not only enhance their well-being, but also improve efficiency, productivity, and competitiveness. However, the evidence is far from conclusive and indicates that the relationship between women\u2019s economic empowerment and economic growth is not simple or always positive.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

This calls aims to assess whether more equal economic participation of women enhances their well-being as well as the conditions for economic growth. The research will identify the pathways through which women\u2019s economic empowerment affect economic growth. It will also assess the factors that influence this complex relationship.<\/p>\n
