The Pathways of Women’s Empowerment Research Project Consortium held its Mid-Term Review from January 20-24th, 2009 in Cairo, Egypt on the theme, “Women’s Empowerment: What are we learning?” This brought together researchers, research assistants and the communications officers from the five regional hubs to discuss research work and progress. The Department for International Development, UK reviewers were also there to offer insightful reviews and comments that would be needed for the 2nd phrase of the RPC. RPC work during the 2nd phase will be mostly focused on publications, paper presentations, policy influencing and communications initiatives as research findings are revealed.
