The Women’s Empowerment in Agriculture Index (WEAI) is a survey-based tool that measures women’s empowerment and inclusion in agricultural activities. This database contained the baseline "pre-project activities" collected from October 2022 to January 2023 in 40 households per each Country involved (Ethiopia, Kenya, Tanzania, Burkina, Ghana). A total of 219 households were involved collecting 381 interviews, in 65 households the primary respondent was a woman, so we had not to interview a male secondary respondent. There are 3 types of surveys to calculate the WEAI: the original WEAI, the Accelerated WEAI (A – WEAI) and the PRO WEAI. The original WEAI is the first developed by IFPRI, the A-WEAI is a shorter and faster version, while the PRO WEAI is an extended version aimed to cover more areas of empowerment. We chose A-WEAI because it was faster and simpler to administer, considering that it is the first time for most of the partners to work on this survey and that the participants have already answered to many surveys, hence they might answer with more attention to a short and fast survey.
