Improving global value chain governance: Empowering women through third-party interventions within institutionally fragile contexts
研究了一个国际非政府组织在制度脆弱环境中通过经济激励和女性领导力干预来赋能女性的效果，发现干预促进了女性参与和部分赋权指标，但自我可持续性仍困难。
Promoting women's empowerment in institutionally fragile contexts has been overlooked in global value chain (GVC) analysis, despite the recognition of its importance by UN SDG 5. Building on GVC governance and feminist institutional theories, we evaluate three aspects of an intervention led by an international non-governmental organization to empower women within socially and economically fragile environments. Using a unique dataset collected between 2018 and 2020 from 2,143 individuals in artisanal mining communities, our findings show that the intervention that promotes economic incentives and facilitates female leadership is positively related to women's inclusion and some empowerment indicators, yet its self-sustainability remains difficult within these challenging contexts.
