- Description
- Abstract: This is one of a series of articles which endeavors to advance empirical data in the field of social protection policy and feminization of poverty. Using participatory action methodology, the author presents evidence from 24 women who implemented three economic development cooperatives spearheaded by the University of KwaZulu-Natal Community Outreach and Research Organisation. Underscored by social justice, asset-based and sustainable livelihood frameworks, the author presents their biographical profile and discusses two themes; intrapersonal challenges, power and group relations which were perceived as obstacles to the sustainability of the projects. This article concludes with considerations for enhancing the sustainability of economic development cooperatives.
