The EMPOWER II project has delivered an integrated programme of stakeholder mapping, engagement, training, workshop, data collection, pilots and roadmaps focusing on impact-driven measures, inspired by the SHE CAN Tool and its resources.

This has involved cross sector stakeholders in countries across sub-Saharan Africa: known as the National Contact Points (NCPs), who have in turn engaged dozens of further organisations in their nations. As such the project has successfully increased the innovation, awareness and application of the tool.

The EMPOWER Final Report presents the activities, outputs and impacts from the project. It also contains new research findings.
