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.

Participation in the Real World
After being interviewed for his research, ImpactReady invited Chris Morris, a graduate student, to write up his findings from assessing the level of real participation in humanitarian evaluations.
After assessing a sample of reports and speaking with NGOs and evaluations, Chris concluded that "Evaluators need to be given more leeway to involve communities in all stages of the evaluation. To provide this leeway a different approach to commissioning and designing evaluations is needed."
His full piece includes a discussion of 5 areas where we can include participation in evaluation and can be found at: http://impactready.org/real-world-participation-in-evaluation/

Hi Joseph, thanks for sharing this blog. I liked it very much.
I facilitate participatory evaluation and in my experience too degree of participation and at which stage of participation are critical. My high moment has been when I was able to facilitate analysis with the community. My dream is to promote participatory practices and bring together those who facilitate these approaches. Warm greetings!
