Influence of women empowerment on childhood (12-23 months) immunization coverage: Recent evidence from 17 sub-Saharan African countries.

We conclude that empowering women through livelihood empowerment interventions can increase their decision-making capacity and foster their resolve to ensure the full immunization of their children. This can be achieved by consciously investing in initiatives such as vocational training programs, job placement services, or support for entrepreneurship initiatives to encourage and support women's workforce participation.
