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.

Evalfest 2018 Call for Innovations
Call%20for%20innovative%20practices.docx
EvalFest 2018 is a three-day event that aims to contribute to building a cultureof evaluation through advocacy, and capacity building by sharing knowledgeabout best practices, approaches and evaluation methods that are participatory,contextual, replicable and adaptable.This event is conceptualized with the belief that every stakeholder involved with the process of development has something critical and mutually reinforcing to bring to the field of evaluation.
EvalFest provides the convening space to bring all together to have collective ideas. The
event is envisaged to be inclusive and participatory for a range of actors from beneficiaries
through to policymakers.The point of intersection for these diverse actors is their interest and involvement in some or
the other way in development process, monitoring and evaluation of development programs.
EvalFest 2018 willprovide space for and encourage less traditional forms of information sharing, such as theatreand storytelling using drawing, photos or oral histories (Visibility for all) to focus onevaluation experiences from non-traditional voices in evaluation conferences (Voice for all).Possible themes will focus on the multiple types of values that evaluation can have and reducemisunderstanding and anxieties that people might have about it. (How to Value evaluationstaking out Fear of evaluation and enhance their use)
We plan to have a participatory session on innovative practices in evaluation- methodologies/tools/ technology/application and outcomes/innovation in disseminations etc., through the format of an ‘Innovation Bazaar’.
What is an ‘Innovation Bazaar’?A bazaar is an area where goods and services are exchanged or sold. Our ‘Innovation Bazaar’ is where individuals/organisations can present their innovative ideas around evaluation and in exchange can get participants feedback and response to their presentations. The bazaar will be in the form of a space with each participant/organization given to present their innovative ideas, and the participants visit the ‘bazaar stall’ to hear from the presenters on the innovations. Presentations can use innovative medium e.g. story-telling, slideshows, posters etc. (In order to minimize disturbance with other presentations using audio speakers would not be allowed). Presenters will need to bring their own laptops, projectors, charts, etc. for showcasing their innovations.
