Abstract

This brief examines the mechanisms by which government programs can be fiscally responsible, efficient and impactful while promoting women-led development. We discuss how Karnataka’s women-led schemes such as Koosina Mane and Gruha Jyoti were successfully implemented. One of the important recommendations that emerged from the discussion was the role of convergence (synthesizing resources from various programs), and leveraging local governance to improve the efficiency of operations. Finally, the brief discusses the role of sensitizing policymakers to examine policies and programs in a more holistic approach that can improve women's participation in the process.
