Effect of NGO intervention on economic development of women

Women play a very key role in the development of the economy. Women's performance in the micro and small enterprise development is remarkable. They use available resources efficiently and obtain high output from labour and capital inputs. NGOs played a major role in the development of women. The voluntary organizations are also developing effective strategies which promote women's development through their participation in programmes initiated for their development. NGOs have developed support programmes such as credit, training and business counselling geared towards boosting the performance of the women. This study aims at finding the impact of NGO interventions on the economic growth and development of women beneficiaries of the selected NGOs. From the findings of the study it is clear that the NGOs programmes and activities have improved the economic conditions of the respondents. There was a significant difference in the economic conditions of the respondents before and after joining the NGOs.
