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.

الأعزاء جميعا

أرغب بطرح سؤال هام للمناقشة، يعبر عن تحدي واقعي في مجال التقييم، وغرضه تبادل الخبرات والمعرفة وتباحث الحلول وتطويرها.

السؤال: كيف لنا أن نجري تقييم للأثر المجتمعي (ٍSocial impact) لأي تدخل إنساني تنموي في مناطق النزاع التي فيها المتغيرات مستمرة وكبيرة من حيث النزوح والتغييرات الديموغرافية؟؟ وهو أحد التحديات التي يصعب فيها عملية القياس؟؟

Hi Mamoun, Greetings! Sorry I don't know Arabic. I used google translate. Please confirm if I have the right question. Please confirm. then we can post it in the remaining community

Question: How do we conduct a social impact assessment of any humanitarian development intervention in conflict zones where the variables are ongoing and significant in terms of displacement and demographic changes? It is one of the challenges that are difficult to measure ??

Hi Rituu, yes this is his question. especially that changes in conflict areas are quick, so social impact can be measured

Yes, we work in an unstable area. we cannot measure the impact on the long term. So, What do you think the best practice of evaluation measurement in this situation?

Hi Mamoun,

If there is a system in place to measure some key indicators especially for health and other social services then a time series analysis may be the best option to measure outcomes. 

مرحبا مأمون
شكرا للسؤال المهم. ربما للمساعدة بالإجابة على هذا السؤال، قد يكون مهما ان نسمع آراء الزملاء ممن عملوا في المشاريع الإنسانية كمشاريع اللاجئين. كيف يمكن لهذه المشاريع أن تقيس اثر مشاريع عاده لاتزيد في مددتها عن ال٦ أشهر. هذا قد يساعدنا في الاجابة على جزء من سؤالك.
مع الشكر
حياة

تحياتي
