Women's Economic Empowerment Framework and Program Quality Assurance Standards (PQAS) briefing paper

World Vision’s Women's Economic Empowerment Framework and Program Quality Assurance Standards (PQAS) aims to build a common understanding of the pathways of change required for women to be economically empowered alongside men – to the benefit of their children.

Currently, World Vision is working on livelihoods and economic development in 65 countries. The WEE Framework and PQAS is intended for World Vision staff advising or overseeing livelihood programs – as well as for key partners and supporters of livelihoods programs.

This briefing paper provides an overview of the WEE Framework approach, indicators and evidence.
