Abstract 2 Title: Evaluating Elected Women Leaders' Individual and Collective efficacy Presentation Abstract 2: PAHEL: Towards Empowering Women, is an initiative of CEDPA India that aims at building leadership skills in elected women representatives (EWRs) from the Panchayat Raj Institutions to monitor and advocate for quality sexual and reproductive health (SRH) services being delivered by State run facilities. The project monitoring data shows that EWRs are taking the initiative to improve SRH services by using checklists to monitor health facilities. However, the EWRs have demonstrated impact and initiative in areas beyond the realm of the project. A qualitative assessment of the project was undertaken to measure and analyse the enabling factors that supported the EWRs to evolve as health advocates and consequent shifts in their individual and collective self-efficacy. The objective of this paper is to contribute to enhanced evaluation knowledge and skills in measuring individual and collective efficacy through qualitative tools.
