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.

There are some places remaining on these Real-world Evaluation courses.You will learn how to 'tame' complexity and maximise the usefulness of your evaluations. The courses provide a framework for incorporating theory-based approaches, such as Realist Evaluation, in situations where there are constraints in terms of time, data, resources, funding, political circumstances etc. Book here:https://t.co/xSi4Pj9ttVSee More

The trouble with evaluation (1-Data)

Invitation to help improve evaluation methods.Dear Members and Colleagues,A project, funded by The Health Foundation (UK) is comparing evaluation guidance with the lived experiences of evaluators. In current guidance the key assumption is that forward planning can prevent problems. However, in the Real-World, despite good intentions and evaluation expertise, problems happen and there is little guidance about how to fix these problems. This seems to be particularly relevant to Quality…See More
