Women’s economic empowerment is critical for the overall development of societies. Yet, understanding which policies and programs are most effective is incredibly difficult. AidData is putting its proven track record in geospatial data, machine learning, remote sensing, and impact evaluation methods—as well as deep subject matter expertise on the role of gender in development—to better measure and contextualize women’s economic empowerment. By combining household survey data and high-resolution satellite imagery, we can produce gender-disaggregated outcome measures at local scales and more nuanced insights about the effectiveness of gender-focused policy interventions in rural settings. Our analysis gives funders insight into how to increase future program impacts while addressing outcomes particularly important to women, including crop selection, household bargaining power, and intimate partner violence.
