WIN seeks to increase women’s economic empowerment (WEE) in Mozambique by identifying, catalysing and scaling-up systemic solutions that benefit low-income women, using an MSD approach.
This report for the period of Janunary - December 2021, the third year of implementation of a five-year programme.
WIN reports a successful 2021, reaching most of its impact targets.
The programme:
- exceeded its impact targets for women empowered in Mozambique (18,251)
- consolidated impactful partnerships across all of its market systems
- increased its engagement with the private sector
It has also developed a solid learning and research agenda intended to help the private sector become more gender-inclusive and support other MSD/NGO
practitioners in designing WEE-focused MSD programmes.
Intervention description
The WIN programme implemented various interventions focused on increasing women's economic empowerment through partnerships with 32 project partners.
Activities included piloting new business models and services, such as the relaunch of M-Pesa's Xitique digital savings product and supporting Banco Futuro's training curricula improvements. Partners generally adopted the promoted models, and there was evidence of increased interest and commitment from private sector partners to continue these models beyond project support. For instance, the positive outcomes from the radio novela "Janete" led the production company, Anima, to develop a more sustainable business model by expanding content delivery to social media platforms.
This programme’s results measurement system underwent a pre-audit review using the DCED Standard.
