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.

Monitoring Tools

Dear Team

I am from Zimbabwe and work for a Trust which support orphaned children in very remote areas of Zimbabwe. Previously our work was to crowd source funds and look for these orphans and pay their fees. The work has grown now to all the 10 provinces in ZImbabwe and we have constant support from the business community and they want us to tell the impact and able to monitor and evaluate the work we have been doing. I am tasked to set up an M&E department and so far we have developed an M&E plan and it was approved. Now we need to develop the project monitoring tools for education and development projects such as fees payment leadership training, we also managed to set up Clubs in all these schools were we teach them leadership and life skill training projects and this is why I am looking for assistance in developming Monitoring and Evaluation.

 

Regards

Dear Solomon

Please find the CPET which I have used in southern African very effectively. It is a community participatory method of monitoring evaluation and gets children and community families engaged in the process of measuring the usefulness and success of the program and allows for course correction. Let me know if this method works for you! Good luck!

Dear Solomon

Happy to discuss your requirements further. I would also link you to our office in Harare; we have an M&E manager - Morris Charumbira - morris@restlessdevelopment.org

I would request you to shed some more light on what tools you already have. what are the elements of activities that your would like to monitor and the logical framework you may have for the project.

regards

Dear Bayiwayi 

You may like to include gender and diversity indicators while monitoring, and  as Martha has said participatory methods of monitoring by children and participants

Vimala Ramachandran has used role plays of barriers to education and development of children which is followed by discussions that highlight areas for strengthening. I use stories on discrimination and then explore if there were any such experiences. 

Best 

Ranjani
