The Initiative for What Works to Advance Women and Girls in the Economy (IWWAGE) aims to engage suitable individuals/organization(s) with potential and expertise in generating evidence around work of women in paid, unpaid, care work and improvement of labour force statistics. There is a need to improve the evidence base around these issues in the context of women’s economic empowerment, both to capture the burden of unpaid work as well as to enable unpaid work concerns of women, which has significant impact on overall economic growth. IWWAGE aims at supporting this and prioritizing the generation of evidence for enablers of WEE; policies, strategies, best practices, and identification of ‘what works’.
