Women in Development (WID)

Women in Development (WID) is a concept that emerged in the 1970s, focusing on integrating women into development processes and acknowledging their crucial roles in economic growth. WID emphasizes that empowering women—through education, job opportunities, and access to resources—can lead to more effective development outcomes. It highlights the need to address gender inequalities and ensures women's participation in decision-making. By recognizing and utilizing women's contributions, WID aims to create a more balanced and sustainable approach to development, benefiting both women and society as a whole.
