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.

Gender and equity in Outcome Mapping
Dear all,
There is growing interest in addressing persistent and structural gender and social inequities in development and humanitarian programmes. Outcome Mapping is considered by some to be a particularly useful approach for planning and monitoring such efforts, yet there have been few examples or adaptations of OM for this purpose shared.
The Outcome Mapping Learning Community is hosting an e-discussion in July to bring to light experiences of community members of using OM in programmes addressing gender and social inequities.
To this end we invite you to answer two questions to indicate your interest in this e-discussion and let us know that you have experience to share. The form will be open until June 30th.

Kind regards,

I worked as a mentor and coach in gender responsive outcome mapping for DFID funded organisations here in Dar Es Salaam. This exercise was designed as a 2 year coaching and mentoring assignment for 6 organisations (Help Age, Equality for Growth, Norwegian Church Aid, HakiKazi Catalyst, Oxfam Tanzania, and Cafe Africa). Outcome Mapping was the framework on which the gender mainstreaming was approached. It was interesting and challenging in ways. Mainly because most of the clients were still trying to grasp what outcome mapping is all about, as well as getting to grips with what are the quick and easy aspects of gender mainstreaming to catch into.
But we all know, gender mainstreaming is a longer term process, which demands bundles of commitment from all engaged. So the exercise was indeed testing and interesting.
I would like to share more experiences from this engagement on any day.
