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.

Hi Hamutal,
I came across this announcement. Please see if it is useful Small Grants to Support Evaluations (https://t.e2ma.net/click/k3y0s/kfcngl/4mjlcf)
The MEASURE Evaluation project is pleased to announce a request for applications (RFA) for its small grants program to support an evaluation topic that has been identified as a country-led health priority. The primary objectives of this program are:
To build capacity among local researchers to conduct and participate in a rigorous evaluation related to a health topic, and
To support research gaps through the development of evaluations to inform programmatic or policy decision-making related to health.
Given that implementation of a full evaluation is likely to exceed the time and budget available for a small grant, the small grants are expected to focus on a component of a rigorous evaluation. Examples include, but are not limited to the development of an evaluation protocol, addition of a qualitative component to an existing evaluation, or analysis of previously collected data to address an evaluation question.
Eligible candidates include country or regional academic institutions or centers, non-profit and for-profit research organizations, parastatals, and research-focused NGOs.
See the full RFA and find out how to apply (https://t.e2ma.net/click/k3y0s/kfcngl/kfklcf).

Try Global Fund For Women for support for this. Google them. Change Matrix that they use is extremely good for assessing partners from a feminist lens. Look at their own evaluation- which is more summative. However, I introduced this methodology with with TEWA, Nepal a feminist fund for both formative and summative evaluations. Best Ranjani

Dear Hamutal,
The change matrix framework (largely known as Gender at Framework) as mentioned by Ranjani would be very useful for any impact evaluation. While using this framework, gender power analysis must be done. Oxfam very recently has also evolved with a strategy known as Transformative Leadership for Women's Rights. This can be viewed in Oxfam's website.
Thanks & Regards,

Thank you! We are using Making the Case, an evaluation tool developed by the Women's Funding Network, but we wanted to do an external research as well, looking back at our work in our 11 years of operation and forming and informing our future strategies.
