 From my experience evaluating development initiatives, a sociological examination should look beyond income outcomes to social relations and power. I have seen programs succeed economically while disrupting community structures or gender roles. I would recommend combining fieldwork, participant perspectives, and institutional analysis. This allows researchers to assess whether empowerment is experienced locally or remains primarily an administrative goal.
