| dc.description |
The chapter addresses women’s income poverty using men as active participants in empowering women
economically. Butiama district was used as a study area, using 120 women and their husbands who were
beneficiaries of the programme dealing with loan provision. As an outcome of the study, men had little
participation in women’s economic activities, hence, women’s economic empowerment was at medium
level. Unlike men, women’s income was used for fulfilling basic needs of the family, therefore, had little
impact on their economic empowerment. By conclusion, men as decision makers have high impact on
women’s economic empowerment. It is recommended that, awareness creation among men would enhance
their participation in empowering women. Improvement of women’s access to and control over production
resources would improve their income. It is recommended that lobbying and advocacy approaches
should be applied to enable women’s control over the production resources. |
