Astha Ramaiya Co-author Article in Journal of Adolescence
The article, led by Linnea Zimmerman examines how opportunity structures (parental influence and neighborhood context) affects individual agency among boys and girls in Kinshasa, DRC. We used longitudinal data to identify three distinct groups for boys and girls in each domain. Parental monitoring was associated with the development of both domains for boys, but showed no association for girls. Conversely, parental closeness was more strongly associated with development for girls, than for boys. Neighborhood safety was associated with greater Voice and Freedom of Movement for both boys and girls.

Guidelines for Measuring Results in Women's Economic Empowerment
I thought this network might be interested in some new guidance produced by the DCED: Guidelines for Measuring Results in Women's Economic Empowerment.
The guidelines include practical advice on integrating women's economic empowerment into a monitoring system. Drawing on good practices and lessons learned from Making Markets Work for the Chars (M4C) and the Alliances Lesser Caucasus Programme (ALCP) in Georgia, the guidelines in particular offer suggestions for measuring women's economic empowerment at the household level. It draws on the monitoring framework of the DCED Standard for Results Measurement, a practical framework for measuring, managing, and demonstrating results.
You can download the guidelines here: http://www.enterprise-development.org/page/download?id=2433
We also ran a webinar on the topic, with presentations from field programmes. You can find a record of the discussion and a recording here: http://www.enterprise-development.org/page/wee-webinar
