Women's Economic Empowerment through Sustainable B

Exit Survey »

Thank you for participating in this survey. We are a group of female graduate students at the Elliott School of International Affairs at the George Washington University in Washington, DC, USA. We intend to use the responses from this survey to extract best practices, common themes, challenges, and overall trends that international organizations encounter when working to empower women in developing countries.

Please note that, should you prefer, your organization’s identity can remain anonymous in our final research paper, which will analyze women’s economic empowerment in developing and post-conflict countries. Kindly note if you prefer to keep your organization anonymous. Please feel free to contact a member of our group if you have any questions or concerns.
