The necessity for women empowerment in developing economies is an accepted precondition for the improvement of the standard of living , with the result that gender mainstreaming has taken center stage in the development discourse.

Furthermore, 5 Focus Group Discussions were conducted, whilst 6 key informant interviews were administered to ensure validity and reliability of the findings.
