Purpose:

This indicator measures to what extent underrepresented groups who are members of decision-making bodies (counted in indicator 3.1) feel empowered to make decisions. The understanding of what it means to be involved in decision-making processes may vary in the different contexts, but the participants in the processes should feel ownership in defining the problem, the process for decision-making, and the decision outcomes for it to be fully implemented.
