This case study adds new insights into existing guidance on Women’s Economic Empowerment (WEE) in market systems development (MSD) programming. It does by (1) examining widespread challenges to effective WEE mainstreaming in MSD programs, and (2) providing examples of how the Australia-Indonesia Partnership for Rural Economic Development (AIP-Rural) has tackled some of these challenges and continues to work on others.
