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.

Evaluation included in SDG Outcome document
Dear colleagues,
(for additional info click http://www.unevaluation.org/mediacenter/newscenter/newsdetail/113 )
The outcome document of the United Nations Summit for the adoption of the post-2015 development agenda, "Transforming Our World: The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development", is now available. It was agreed to by consensus by Member States on Sunday, 2 August 2015. The United Nations summit for the adoption of the post-2015 development agenda will be held from 25 to 27 September 2015, where world leaders will gather at the United Nations Headquarters in New York City to renew their commitment to development and adopt the new development agenda.
In 2015, the global evaluation community celebrates the International Year of Evaluation to advocate and promote evaluation and evidence-based policy making at international, regional, national and local levels. For the international evaluation community, what is particulay exciting is that "evaluation" was integrated in this new Agenda, in the "follow-up and review" section. It indicates that the follow-up and review processes of implementation of the post-2015 Development Agenda will be informed by country-led evaluations and data (paragraph 74G). It also calls for strengthening national evaluation capacity (paragraph 74H).
We are proud to say that UNEG, with support from our partners, played a critical role in advocating on the importance of evaluation during the intergovernmental negotiations. This is another important milestone for UNEG and the international evaluation community, following the stand-alone United Nations General Assembly Resolution, "Capacity building for the evaluation of development activities at the country level", which was adopted in December 2014 (click for more information).
This is an important period for all of us. Let us continue to join hands to promote evaluation for better development results.
Best regards
Marco Segone Director, Independent Evaluation Office, UNWomen Chair, United Nations Evaluation Group (UNEG) Co-chair, EvalPartners 220 East 42nd street (between 2nd and 3rdAvenue), Room 2164 (21st floor) – 10017 New York, USA E-mail: marco.segone@unwomen.org
