This report is an assessment of the women empowerment programmes available in selected local government areas in Osun State, Nigeria and the involvement of women in the initiation and planning of the empowerment programmes.Two local government areas (LGAs) in Osun State, Ife Central and Ede South were purposively selected for the study.The participants in the study comprised 18 female "beneficiaries of skills acquisition programmes selected through convenient sampling method from the two local government areas. Five officials of the adult education departments in the two selected" LGAs were purposively selected making a total of twenty-three respondents. In-depth interviews were used to elicit information from the respondents.The study determined that women were not involved in the planning of the empowerment programme, and programmes were initiated and implemented based on needs assessment procedures that were not systematically undertaken. Unlike the Ede South who gave their participants the grants and loans promised, Ife Central was yet to do the same for the women that were involved in the programmes completed since year 2011.
