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
Join MEASURE Evaluation for a one-hour webinar on May 20 at 9am EDT. The webinar will highlight effective health information systems (HIS) strengthening interventions to improve data quality and data use in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC).
Despite significant resources invested in developing national HIS, the actual use of high-quality data to make informed decisions remains a challenge. In the DRC, MEASURE Evaluation has been working with the Ministry of Public Health and the National Malaria Control Program to improve data quality and increase the use of malaria information at all levels of the health system. MEASURE Evaluation used the Health Information System Strengthening Model to identify and prioritize interventions to strengthen elements of the HIS, including the rollout and implementation of the electronic routine health information platform (DHIS 2), building local capacity in monitoring and evaluation (M&E), and establishment of 77 centers of excellence to improve facility-level health information generation and use.
This webinar will discuss the outcomes of priority HIS strengthening interventions in the DRC, with particular focus on how data was used to assess data quality, generate health statistics, develop information products, and review and interpret findings. The presenters will also discuss best practices and lessons learned in using data to improve an HIS and drive data-informed decision making to improve health programs.
Register to attend the webinar.
