“…This perspective prioritizes human rights related to freedom to choose and decide at both the individual and community levels. It also contributed to the concern regarding the capacity of marginalized groups to express their needs [24,25,33,34] In Lao PDR, the implementation of the social programs is influenced by a interplay between two major doctrines: the political ideology promoted by the Lao People's Revolutionary Party (LPRP) and the "Lao Culture and Tradition (Lao way)" that give the country its specificity [35,36]. This highlights the unique nature of the Lao government's approach to empowering women.…”

In several developing countries, such as Lao People’s Democratic Republic (Lao PDR), the fight against malnutrition is carried out through programs that involve collaboration between internal (national) and external (international) actors. These actors may have different perceptions on what is one of the pillars of these programs: the empowerment of women, especially mothers of young children. Little is known about these differences and the impact of these differences on the empowerment component of collaborative projects and the perception of its impact on the reduction in malnutrition in the country. A multiple case study was performed. Data collection was carried out in Vientiane Capital and Luangprabang province. The data were obtained from (1) documents, (2) semi-structured interviews with representatives of internal and external organizations, and (3) focus group discussions and individual interviews with mothers of children under five years old. Analysis consisted of characterizing the empowerment component of nutrition programs of internal and external organizations, as well as mothers, based on an OXFAM’s adapted conceptual framework on women’s economic empowerment. The study revealed a common understanding among government and external organizations regarding the significance of promoting women’s empowerment for reducing child malnutrition in Lao PDR. However, variations were observed in the interpretation of specific determinants of women’s empowerment, specifically in relation to women’s autonomy and the role of social capital. The perspective of internal actors includes the political ideology and traditions that make Lao PDR a distinct country. This perspective dominates the nutrition programs conducted under the collaboration of internal and external actors. In Lao PDR, the concept of women’s empowerment in nutrition programs conducted through collaboration between internal and external actors and targeting young Lao mothers gives prominence to political and socio-cultural factors.

La solidarité est souvent définie en travail social comme un moyen ou une finalité des pratiques d’intervention se réclamant de l’empowerment. Or, la solidarité comme l’empowerment font l’objet d’usages polysémiques brouillant la compréhension des phénomènes à l’oeuvre. À partir d’une synthèse analytique de la littérature sur l’empowerment, nous présentons six perspectives basées sur des significations différentes d’après des modalités théoriques et idéologiques spécifiques donnant lieu à une conceptualisation de la solidarité selon une grille d’analyse fondée sur des conditions de pratique. Après quoi nous soulevons certains angles morts théoriques des perspectives recensées, dont le régime d’autonomie dans lequel s’exercent ces pratiques et les rapports de pouvoir avec lesquels ces dernières doivent composer. Nous concluons en considérant les dimensions paradoxales du régime d’autonomie-condition en intervention sociale et les défis que ce contexte dissonant représente pour le travail social.
