P002846001: The project addresses discriminatory social norms that perpetuate sexual and gender-based violence and prevent women and girls to realize their sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) in some of the most marginalized districts of South Africa. It works with communities, including men and boys, and adolescent girls and young women aged 15-24, parents as well as youth and women networks to promote women and girls’ human rights, SRHR, and in preventing sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV). The project also strives to foster multi-sectoral collaboration across institutions (health, social services, justice, police, education), to strengthen institutional capacity and evidence-based decision-making to increase the availability of quality SRHR and SGBV services (information, counselling and prevention) that respond to the needs of women and girls, free from bias and discrimination.

Project activities include: (1) training health workers (doctors, nurses, managers and community health workers) in the targeted districts’ health facilities on proven integrated delivery models of SHRH, SGBV and HIV services that respond to the needs of women and young girls and are free of bias and discrimination; (2) training social service professionals and community health workers on integrated SGBV case management, including referral pathways, and field testing and documentation of results in selected locations in the targeted districts; (3) improving data systems and enhancing disaggregation of data (by sex, age, disability, ethnicity, etc.) to better target SRHR policy and programming; (4) training community networks that engage with men, boys, parents and caregivers, and young girls to run advocacy campaigns with government to invest in quality SRHR and SGBV services free from bias and discrimination and prevent and respond to SGBV.

It is expected the project directly reaches 300,000 adolescents girls and young women (aged between 15 and 24) and further indirectly reaches 1,5 million beneficiaries.

P002846002: In response to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, the project is providing additional funds to protect women and girls’ sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR), and help respond effectively to sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV).

This project seeks to improve learning outcomes for girls and adolescent girls in 13 fragile and conflict-affected contexts, and in humanitarian settings. Violence in fragile or conflict-affected contexts and in humanitarian settings prevents girls and adolescent girls from accessing safe quality education. The project aims to use data to better understand the barriers to girls’ and adolescent girls’ education in Côte d’Ivoire, El Salvador, Honduras, Guatemala, Kenya, Lesotho, Malawi, Nigeria, Rwanda, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia and Zimbabwe. The project also aims to ensure that national education policies and plans in these countries are informed by the most up-to-date evidence on the barriers to education for girls and adolescent girls.

The project aims to examine the country data from Violence against Children Surveys (VACS). These are national surveys that have been conducted in 20 countries with information for over 10% of the world’s population under the age of 24 on the complex issue of violence, with the goal of informing our policies and programs.

This project also provides additional targeted support to the government of Côte d’Ivoire and governments in the Northern Triangle (El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras) to enhance their ability to develop laws, policies and programs to address these barriers.

Project activities include: (1) analyzing existing Violence against Children Surveys (VACS) data with a focus on barriers to girls’ and adolescent girls’ education in 12 fragile or conflict-affected countries (excluding Guatemala which will benefit from knowledge exchange); (2) advocating for increased understanding and use of new data from secondary analyses to maximize data that is already available, by key education actors in government and civil society; (3) developing a new methodology for conducting a VACS in a humanitarian setting to gain an understanding of violence against children in refugee camps/settlements, and also with special attention to girls’ and adolescent girls’ education; and (4) providing technical assistance to develop multi-sectoral and gender-transformative National Action Plans in Côte d’Ivoire, Honduras and El Salvador, to prevent and respond to barriers to education for girls and adolescent girls, especially violence.

The project’s direct beneficiaries include Ministries of Education, of Health, of Women and Children, and of Social Protection among others, in the 13 targeted countries, as well as civil society, non-governmental organizations and advocacy groups working in the field of girls’ education.

This will be accomplished in the following ways:
• Through partnership and joint management of distinctions based investments that will enhance and expand Indigenous ELCC, and support the transfer of ELCC to Indigenous organizations;
• Strengthening foundational supports for Indigenous ELCC through, for example, Indigenous led quality improvement projects; and
• Adapting and improving existing federal programs to be more flexible, adaptable and horizontal across federal departments as a first step prior to transferring control, so that programs cohesively support the goals of the Framework including supporting self determination.
