What is Empowerment Process

The chapter discusses the Measuring Empowerment Framework and how it can be used to measure the phenomenon of empowerment through the internet. The ME framework not only provides the opportunity to measure the concept of empowerment through the indicators of empowerment defined for the research participants but also by identifying whether there is sufficient opportunity for the women to use the achieved competencies and capabilities through the project in the future. Although the framework has been interpreted and applied to projects in different countries on a bigger scale, it also lends itself to be applied to smaller project settings and gives the flexibility to choose variables depending on the project's context.
