Some Village Savings Loan (VSL) groups participating in the Metaketa V study in the areas of TA's Chikowi and Nkagula have praised Ipor for capacity building trainings on how they can demand desired development projects using existing structures at the local authority level.
The training intervention is designed to increase the demand women have for political knowledge and skills, as well as the supply of the relevant skill sets to participate effectively.
The study will test
whether women's participation in Village Savings and Loan Associations (VSLA) increases their political participation and whether participating in trainings, meant to foster collective efficacy, offers an additional benefit.
