People might be interested in this blog from Business Fights Poverty - Empowering Poor Women at the Base of the Pyramid?

The blog is by Catherine Dolan, Fellow, Markets, Culture and Society Programme, Saïd Business School, Oxford University regarding Care's rural sales programme.

She has been doing work for a while with Care and other INGOs on programmes addressing 'women's empowerment' via distribution channels such as these (vs through supply chain led approaches).

Thanks to Sally Baden for bringing it to my attention!
