The program focuses on increasing land literacy, women’s land ownership and long-term land access to secure livelihoods for 50,000 women at the community level. Womanity’s Theory of Change (ToC) Document outlines the rationale and the pathway to advance gender equality and economic empowerment of women through sustainable models and strategic interventions. Womanity has outlined three phases to reach 50,000 women – Build, Enhance and Scale. In the Build phase, it seeks to identify challenges, evolve prototype sustainable models, measure effectiveness and impact, support implements, invest in research, and develop a comprehensive evidence plan. This learning document prepared by ISST contributes to the efforts of the Build phase of Womanity. The objective of this document is to capture the learnings of the various partner organizations, key members of the Womanity team, and the other stakeholders (referred as the Womanity ecosystem in India) in the first 18 months of the project period, as well as their future learning needs. Through a thorough analysis of the data collected over six months, a learning framework was expected to map all possible needs for building knowledge and strengthening capacities within the Womanity ecosystem to effectively address various WLR issues Mon, 30 Sep 2024 00:00:00 GMT http://164.52.210.154:8080/jspui/handle/123456789/1872 2024-09-30T00:00:00Z http://164.52.210.154:8080/jspui/handle/123456789/1867 Title: ‘Case Studies of Homebased Workers in Bihar, Punjab and Uttar Pradesh' Fri, 01 Dec 2006 00:00:00 GMT http://164.52.210.154:8080/jspui/handle/123456789/1867 2006-12-01T00:00:00Z http://164.52.210.154:8080/jspui/handle/123456789/1866 Title: Making Public Policies for SSE Sustainable, Feminist-Conscious and Transformative: Exploring the Challenges Abstract: The feminist analysis of social and solidarity economy (SSE) practices in the six cases studied in the project (see box) identified a number of limitations that may undermine the existence, scope, effectiveness and sustainability of public policies for SSE. These related to (i) the ability of SSE initiatives to construct public actions (and exert pressure) for change; (ii) a disabling political environment and lack of political commitment; (iii) the nature of institutional support in place; (iv) the processes underlying SSE policy making and legislation; and (v) institutional, political and financial capacity of state institutions to act, and policy incoherence. The research findings point in particular to the problematic way in which states fulfil their responsibilities in the field of social reproduction as a structural limitation for the development of SSE initiatives. This constitutes a major impediment to the development of feminist and transformative public policies for SSE. Overcoming it will require action from governments, SSE organizations and civil society movements Wed, 01 Aug 2018 00:00:00 GMT http://164.52.210.154:8080/jspui/handle/123456789/1866 2018-08-01T00:00:00Z http://164.52.210.154:8080/jspui/handle/123456789/1865 Title: Solidarity Practices and the Formation of Political Subjects and Actions for Change Abstract: How do solidarity-based associations and initiatives emerge? How do their members constitute themselves as political subjects, and how are their collective actions produced? What are the possibilities for structural change in the way power is organized, and what challenges stand in the way of this process?
