Empowering Women Through Savings Groups: A study from the Wellness and Agriculture for Life Advancement (WALA) Program
![](/themes/custom/fsn2020/assets/img/transparent.png)
This gender study explores women's participation and leadership in savings groups (SGs) in the context of an integrated five-year USAID-funded Development Food Aid Program (DFAP), entitled Wellness and Agriculture for LIfe Advancement (WALA) in the southern region of Malawi. The study serves to understand to what extent WALA-supported SGs advance women's meaningful empowerment and deeper long-lasting changes to gender power inequalities.
