| 520 | 3 | |a This article evaluates the relationship between women's empowerment and family planning in the context of women's organizations in Brazil, India, Nepal, Nicaragua, Pakistan, Philippines, Turkey, and Uganda using field research methods. Some of the important lessons learned in the evaluation are: 1) start-up support; 2) unrestricted funding; 3) funder requirements; 4) individual benefit in participating organizational activities; 5) role of self-esteem; 6) indicators of improvement; 7) improving the enabling external environment; 8) women nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) role in encouraging the control by women of their fertility; and 9) empowerment impact. The study concludes that women organizations are important vehicles for women's empowerment and in the understanding of reproductive health issues. The following recommendations are: 1) "hands-off" manner of support to women organizations; 2) support and facilitate networking of women NGOs; 3) support governments and national NGOs that made reproductive health and family planning services accessible to women; and 4) donors and governments should provide support to women NGOs as well as women empowerment concerns outside reproductive health. | |
