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.

M&E Consultant Resources
Hello Everyone!
I am interested in applying for consultant positions that are focused on gender and evaluation. I was hoping to find a colleague out there in this forum who has budget templates, or proposal/bidding guides? This might seem like a simple thing to create, and I agree, it would just be helpful to see examples that folks have used so that I don't find myself leaving something out in my budget for example. Also, any suggestions or advice on strengthening a proposal or resume that is targeting a consultant position would also be helpful. As a budding consultant, I appreciate it!
A little bit about me:
I have previous experience with M&E and carrying out research among programs focused on violence against women and girls education, primarily in India. Currently I work with immigrant and refugee communities for an organization in Portland, OR. I have attended several professional trainings on gender-based violence, specifically when working in refugee camps, in the context of migration, and when conducting research or creating research based projects among women/girls.
Thank you, and also must say very thankful for this website! Even though this is my first time posting, I have browsed and followed the updates since joining.
Best,
Fonda
