摘要：Background: Empowerment is essential for gender equity and health. The city of Malmö, Sweden, has formulated a development plan for gender equity integration (GEIDP). A ‘Policy Empowerment Index’ (PEI) was previously developed to assess the empowerment potential of policies.Objectives: To pilot-evaluate the GEIDP’s potential for empowerment and to test the PEI for future policy evaluations.Design: The GEIDP was analyzed and scored according to electronically retrieved evidence on constituent opinion, participation, capacity development, evaluation–adaptation, and impact.Results: The plan’s PEI score was 64% (CI: 48–78) and was classified as ‘enabling’, ranging between ‘enabling’ and ‘supportive’. The plan’s strengths were: 1) constituent knowledge and concern; 2) peripheral implementation; 3) protection of vulnerable groups; and 4) evaluation/adaptation procedures. It scored average on: 1) policy agenda setting; 2) planning; 3) provisions for education; 4) network formation; 5) resource mobilization. The weakest point was regarding promotion of employment and entrepreneurship.Conclusions: The PEI evaluation highlighted the plan’s potential of constituency empowerment and proposed how it could be augmented.Keywords: policy; empowerment; evaluation; gender equity; policy empowerment index(Published: 2 July 2014)Citation: Glob Health Action 2014, 7: 23710 - http://dx.doi.org/10.3402/gha.v7.23710
