Our development values are wealth creation by adding value in managing human, financial and environmental resources; participation of those with whom we work at all stages and levels of a project regardless of gender, race, class, ethnicity, nationality or religion; collaboration with others engaged in development to avoid duplication and competition; sustainability, both programmatically and environmentally; and direct investment in businesses that serve the poor. MEDA has been working in Pakistan since 2004 in the field of women's economic development. USAID Pakistan Entrepreneurs, a USAID funded project will, over the next 5 years benefit thousands of homebound and isolated women in all four provinces of Pakistan. Women's economic empowerment in Pakistan requires a concerted effort that goes beyond establishing micro-enterprises or providing employment opportunities, it should also include: access to business and skills training, market exposure, technology transfer, availability of credit, awareness of rights, knowledge of pricing, negotiation skills, to name a few.
