To tackle malnutrition in Bangladesh, SPRING implemented its farmer nutrition school (FNS) approach which focused particularly on enrolling pregnant and lactating women. Over time, staff noticed that women who participated in FNS seemed more confident, more in control of their family’s health and diet, and better linked to the government extension system. This blog discusses how SPRING adapted the Women’s Empowerment in Agriculture Index (WEAI) to measure the change in women’s empowerment.
