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.

Greetings from Beautiful Boise!

My new guest blog post on communicating with policymakers was published this morning by the Evaluation Capacity Development Group (ECDG).

I believe communication is probably one of the most important and challenging aspects of my job as the director of a legislative evaluation shop.  Policymakers are busy folks with many competing things on their minds.  Getting their attention isn’t easy. Having worked for them for so many years, I thought they…

Why Are Evaluators So Tentative about the Advocacy Aspect of Our Profession?

Posted on July 12, 2014 at 10:00 5 Comments

My mother used to say that where there are two or more people, there will always be politics over resources. Because evaluations involve making judgments about prioritization, distribution, and use of resources, evaluations will always be inherently political.

Greetings! I am Rakesh Mohan, director of the Office of Performance Evaluations (OPE), an independent agency of the Idaho Legislature. This year our office is celebrating 20…
