This document discusses developing a Women's Empowerment Measure for National Statistical Systems (WEMNS) to monitor progress on women's empowerment and gender equality goals. It summarizes lessons learned from prior empowerment metrics like the Women's Empowerment in Agriculture Index (WEAI). A proposed process for developing WEMNS includes consulting stakeholders, drafting a short questionnaire, validating it through cognitive interviews and surveys, and disseminating the validated short form for monitoring at the national level. The goal is to establish an empowerment metric that national statistical systems can feasibly measure as part of their regular data collection.
