For example, the technical aim of the Puno-Cusco Corredorproject was to strengthen rural entrepreneurship through public competitions. Institutional innovations allowed poor indigenous women and men to sit alongside government officials to manage the competition process, thus changing the quality of the relationship and giving people an opportunity to develop their leadership skills.10 Enhancing the possibility of such multiplier effects needs understanding and optimising the relations between different kinds of empowerment, as in the case of a cash transfer programme in Malawi that required women to get identity cards, leading them to gain a new sense of identity and the belief that their government could no longer ignore them (Good Practice Note 2. Women’s economic empowerment).
