In recognition of the government’s prioritization of manufacturing in its development agenda, Ku-WEE Hub is conducting a study on Effectiveness of the Women-in-Manufacturing program (WIM) in promoting Women’s Economic Empowerment in Kenya. Here is a highlight of the pilot study findings on Decision making, access and control of productive resources contained in policy brief by the research team.
Other key findings of the pilot study indicated that: Women reported limited control over household productive assets and could not make exclusive decisions about business and household income.

Most women have power in time agency, but with significant variations between those engaged in domestic work and those income generating activities.
