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

In the upcoming webinar, Sarah Pouezevara (RTI International) and Mike Dawson (Ustad Mobile) will discuss how they are leveraging mobile technology to assess learners’ progress and monitor attendance in low-resource settings.

Topic Using Tangerine(TM) to capture learning (and teaching!) progress in low-resource settings.
Profile Sarah was one of the original designers of the Tangerine data collection system, which is widely used for large-scale early grade reading and math assessments in low-resource contexts.
