What are the key steps of designing a VAW prevention programme? Whether setting your priorities (based on contextual research) for your programme, designing and envisioning your intervention, or deciding how to ensure implementation quality and measure programme change, this section will help you understand your VAW prevention programme design process.
Here, we have guidance on how to select an appropriate prevention strategy by understanding the VAW situation in your context, as well as looking at local and global VAW prevention strategies that have been effective and your own organisational capacity and the capacities of other stakeholders to implement a specific prevention strategy.
The RESPECT Framework is a specific resource discussed here. It lays out seven strategies for VAW prevention – these are centred on strengthening relationship skills, empowering women, ensuring services, making environments safe, preventing child and adolescent abuse, and transforming attitudes, beliefs, and norms.
This section also has guidance on making a case for the inception phase, co-designing a programme, adapting an evidence-based programme to your context, and developing a theory of change.
