A total of 50 members and employees of the ENAB association. Methodologically, mixed method is used and data were collected from primary and secondary sources. Unstructured interview, instruments were developed and used. A five point Likert Scale questioner was used to measure the level of the research participants’ agreement/disagreement on empowerment practices and the influence of each variable on the process of empowerment in the institutions covered under the study. Findings showed that the ENAB intervention program doesn’t bring significant change on economic empowerment. The study revealed that income and job opportunity would be a major factors for economic empowerment. As a result of this, it showed the existences of supportive legal frameworks, structure and improvement in the asset and capabilities of the association of women in the ENAB.
