dc.description.abstractAbstract The paper re-examines what EMPOWERMENT is, as distinct from what it is assumed to be. Empowerment is the opening up of avenues for generations of women in a nation to participate actively and enjoy their participation in the family, community, society and in the world. Empowerment entails a complexity of change in developmental issues such as: combating poverty; raising productivity; widening access to education; improving nutrition and living conditions; widening access to employment; improving health conditions; enhancing agriculture and the environment; providing legal and political recognition; maintaining cultural values and enjoying peaceful co-existence. Women are central to these issues, yet, until in the last decade in Nigeria, women were never involved in decisions regarding these most pressing problems that affect their lives. The paper presents arguments that non-formal, formal and informal education should be the major instrumentation for empowering women. It highlights major interventions both by governments and non-governmental organisations in Nigeria and outside to empower women. By reviewing needs and roles of Women in agriculture, in health, in literacy, economy, and leadership, it enjoins curricula developers to package multi-sectoral and well-integrated curricula for women development centres and cooperatives.en_US
