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 resources for women's political skills and cadidacy program

Hi All,

I am currently working on the evaluation of a women's political candidacy engagement and training program (using DAC criteria).  I would love to see any evaluations of similar projects, especially in post-conflict situations and/or in the MENA region.

Thank you!

Warm regards,

Melissa

Dear Melissa,

I trust this message finds you well.

I'd like to share with you the end-of term valuation of AMAL regional programme for "Supporting Women’s Transformative Leadership in the MENA Region in Changing Times" implemented by Oxfam GB and Oxfam Novib in the MENA region (Lebanon, Morocco, Tunisia, Palestine, and Yemen). It supported the political and economic empowerment of women's rights organizations & their constituencies as well as grassroots during and after the Arab Spring.

I hope this report is insightful and I'm happy to support you in your evaluation work.

Many Blessings.....

Hi Melissa, you might like to consider intersectionality lens in your evaluation framework. I had read a study on this related to local government female leaders but cannot find it. 

We had a discussion in our community on intersectionality. See if you find it useful https://gendereval.ning.com/forum/topics/intersectional-approach-to...

Best wishes for your evaluation. Hope you will share your learning from the experience.
