Gender-Based Violence (GBV) is not just a social issue, it’s a systemic challenge that undermines agricultural value chains.

In rural and isolated areas, GBV threatens women’s safety, limits their economic participation, and weakens food security. When women cannot work safely, entire communities lose resilience, and businesses lose productivity. Climate resilience strategies that overlook gendered risks leave communities exposed and women vulnerable.

Ending GBV is essential for building equitable, sustainable, and climate-resilient agri-food systems; and it’s not only a human rights imperative, but also central to climate adaptation and economic stability.

The good news? Solutions work. Programs like the Women’s Safety Accelerator Fund (WSAF) demonstrate that addressing GBV can enhance productivity and strengthen workforce morale and brand reputation. Safe, inclusive workplaces aren’t just good ethics, they’re smart business.

Event Description

Despite the growing investments in livelihoods promotion through group-based development, there is little consensus on how impactful these programmes have been. 3ie, in collaboration with the Indian rural development ministry, and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, is working to generate rigorous evidence on the impact of the National Rural Livelihoods Mission.

Panellists will discuss the opportunities in and challenges of evaluating group-based livelihoods projects. The discussion will draw on the speakers’ experiences and lessons from a large-scale impact evaluation of this complex government programme. In addition to discussing methodological and implementation lessons, they will discuss the importance of having and verifying background and context information and outline what stakeholder engagement efforts are needed to deliver evaluation evidence that is accessible to and useful for decision makers.
