February 2018[edit]

Thank you for your contributions. Please mark your edits, such as your recent edits to Poverty reduction, as "minor" only if they are minor edits. In accordance with Help:Minor edit, a minor edit is one that the editor believes requires no review and could never be the subject of a dispute. Minor edits consist of things such as typographical corrections, formatting changes or rearrangement of text without modification of content. Additionally, the reversion of clear-cut vandalism and test edits may be labeled "minor". Thank you. – S. Rich (talk) 02:50, 8 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Women in Development - Peer Review[edit]

Microcredit

Since we learned about the various debates on microcredit in GPP 115, you even make subsections regarding the observed benefits and controversies about it (e.g. section called "Criticism of Microcredit")

- Possibly use the sources from GPP 115 to help you

Add a list of common microcredit institutions to inform readers more about the variety of work different organizations are doing with microcredit
It may also be beneficial to add the distinction between microfinance and microcredit since they're often used interchangeably
Add a section about what the World Bank does, especially considering that it is a prominent institution but many people don't know that it mainly deals with microfinance

Activities

Under activities, were you planning on writing how women in development utilize their microcredit or what various NGOs may be doing to help women in development?
It may be helpful to narrow down the topic of this section since "Activities" can refer to many different aspects of women in development

General Comments

Awesome that you're adding the "Microcredit" section to the article
Were you planning on including anything about educating girls in developing communities?
Great data that you have so far

Women's Empowerment - Peer Review[edit]

Ongoing Projects

Possibly add if the goals you listed are being achieved
What are the efforts being made to achieve these goals?
Maybe list the goals and go into more detail about the 4th and 5th goals that you briefly mentioned

U.S Involvement

There seems to be some overlap between "U.S Involvement" & "Ongoing Projects." For instance, the Protecting Girls Access to Education Act seems to be more of a continuing, international program that would fit more under "Ongoing Projects,"
I think it's important to also put information as to what this U.S bill entails
Would be beneficial to add more quantitative data (e.g.funding from the U.S, how many girls in the world do not receive an education)
Mention cultural differences as one of the reasons as to why some girls don't receive an education or work (e.g. religion, community values)

General Comments

Great topics you're covering
Add more about the various organizations and strategies that seek to empower women
