It is important to invest sufficient time and resources to develop the knowledge, skills, and capacities of staff, partners and community facilitators through a combination of training and mentoring activities. A useful approach to assess need is to develop a self-assessment tool which asks people to assess their own knowledge and skills in a variety of key areas appropriate to their role, such as the example given below:
Violence against women -Types of VAW |
Programme design -Conducting a situation analysis |
Programme implementation -Facilitation skills |
VAW prevention -Differences/links between prevention and response |
Programme monitoring, evaluation, and learning -Designing outcomes and indicators |
