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.

EVALSDGs EVALUATION INSIGHT (EI) on "Quick Tips to Assess the Risks of AI Applications in Monitoring and Evaluation"
The EVALSDGs EVALUATION INSIGHT (EI) on "Quick Tips to Assess the Risks of AI Applications in Monitoring and Evaluation", authored by myself, aims to provide practical guidance for monitoring and evaluating (M&E) the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals.
In alignment with the United Nations 2030 Agenda, AI has revolutionized decision-making by harnessing big data and datasets for trend and pattern analysis. However, integrating AI into M&E processes introduces several risks, including bias and fairness issues, data misinterpretation, privacy concerns, security vulnerabilities, ethical dilemmas, and challenges related to reliability and robustness.
In conclusion, the EI offers examples of AI applications and key takeaways to stimulate engagement and collaboration in advancing M&E practices.
I extend my gratitude to the diligent editors who contributed to this EI, Dianna Davis-Smith and Eddah Kanini; and to the EVALSDGs Guidance Group focal points, Roxana Gómez-Valle and Lenyora Kabelo Sihwa. Laura
