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.

Please find South Africa's first annual evaluation report.
Another useful document from South Africa - Discussion document on PME principles and approaches. This has gone through close to one year consultation and approved by the cabinet of ministers. Excellent example of mainstreamed M&E system. I think this gives useful insights for the countries trying to mainstream evaluation or working on evaluation policies.
Please also see South Africa case study documented by Parliamentarians Forum through NEP expert Katerina Stolyarenko http://www.pfde.net/index.php/publications-resources/2014-02-28-19-... (available in English, Spanish, French and Russian). http://www.pfde.net/images/pdf/cs1.pdf

Dear Asela,

Thanks for sharing yet another valuable resource. You are a huge asset to our community.

Warm greetings from Delhi!

Dear Asela,
I have tried to sign up for PFDE (parliamentarians Forum for National EVAL.
unfortunately, registration always failed rejecting all sorts of passwords.
The site does not provide any hints on accepted passwords. Though I have emailed the contact us venue on the site, to describe this experience almost a week ago. I received no response. Could you help by any means? Do you have any clues on what kind of passwords is acceptable to this site? Or the problem is something else?
I appreciate your attention and support.

Nihal Fahmy
