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.

Looking for support on developing capacity on gender responsive M&E

Hi, 

I was wondering if there is/are any institutions that provide training to gender experts on gender responsive monitoring and evaluation. Does it exist, or would a monitoring and evaluation expert do the job if they work with gender experts? 

cheers

Dear Seble,

I tried to attach the three documents in vain, but you should be able to get them online. Let me look for the links. Click on each of the titles to download them:

  3. A gender sensitivity resource pack:  Community safety training, out...

I hope this helps now.

All the very best in your reading!

Dear Seble,

The African Gender & Development Evaluation  Network (AGDEN) does just that - provides training on gender & human rights responsive training.

We are a continental network but can organise training for an institution if required. If you wish to pursue this please email me at florence.etta@gmail.com.  

I see the World Bank document sent to you. In my humble opinion it is very dated i.e. old although it is useful it is long and does not sufficiently give much how-to help.  

The resources that Awour has posted are also quite useful.

Do let me know if you wish to continue this conversation.

Cheers,

Florence Etta

Dear Dr. Etta,

Thanks for the reminder about AGDEN Training. How could I forget our AGDEN surely?

I hope Seble will be able to get in touch with you about the AGDEN Training.

Cheers!

Hi

World Bank manual on Gender Issues in Monitoring and Evaluation is exhaustive one.

Thanks

Pradeep

Exhaustive but surely dated!!!
It uses the phrase 'gender sensitive' when the discourse has moved on to more active words and talk!

Hi
