Women's Empowerment in Agriculture Index (WEAI)

The Women's Empowerment in Agriculture Index (WEAI) is a tool that measures the empowerment and gender equality of women in agriculture across various countries. It assesses key areas such as women's decision-making power, access to resources, and their participation in agricultural activities. By evaluating these factors, the WEAI helps identify barriers that limit women's roles in farming and guides policies to enhance their participation and success. Ultimately, it aims to improve food security and promote equity in agricultural development, acknowledging women's critical contributions to agriculture and rural economies.
