What can you do on VAW prevention with 1 year* of funding?

Option

Justification

Resource Considerations

Capacity development of staff and national partners  on VAW prevention programming e.g. Courses; On the job accompaniment and mentoring, exchange visits

– Many organisations and staff have limited expertise on VAW prevention and how to design and implement a quality program
– On-the-job mentoring  on VAW data, prevention program design, improving implementation is an effective way to build individual staff capacity
– See this slide for some course options on VAW prevention
– Exchange visits of policymakers and NGO staff can be key to examining a successful prevention strategy in another context

– Individual courses e.g. free to $1000 per person
Group course (30-40 people) e.g. Free to Virtual $20,000; in person $50-80,000
On-the job mentoring e.g. 20 days over 1 year e.g. $ 20,000

Research to inform programming and policy priorities e.g. types, causes, dynamics of VAW, vulnerable groups, attitudes and social norms

– Programs should be designed to address the specific risk factors identified for a specific type of violence in a specific context. 
– Situational analysis (or formative research) is important to understand the particular context of VAW, populations affected, opportunities and constraints, programming realities

– Ideally undertaken by a local research organization / researchers
E.g. a qualitative study (focus groups, interviews) in 3 communities might cost $50,000 (data collection, analysis, report)

Co-design of program intervention with stakeholders and or partner organizations

– 12 months is not adequate to both design & implement a program
– It is a good length of time to undertake a co-design process for a new program to ensure it is built on research and evidence and suited to the context and population and to build the partnerships and capacities to implement and evaluate it successfully.

– A UK-funded study on prevention program costs suggests that quality intervention development can cost $30k – $150,000

Translate key materials on prevention into local languages

– This can be a key way to ensure resources (audio, written, visual) are accessible to a range of stakeholders and can be used in local contexts

– Case by case

Invest in existing policy processes, coalitions and networks on prevention

– There are multiple global, regional and national coalitions and organisations (e.g. GBV Prevention Network, Pacific Partnership to End VAW, the UN Trust Fund, the Accelerator for GBV Prevention, The Prevention Collaborative)  committed to accelerating progress on VAW prevention and this can be a good use of shorter-term funding

– Case by case

Creation of accessible, well-targeted resources (e.g. papers, briefs, blogs, videos, social media) on VAW prevention and practice-base  knowledge

– Much of the global evidence on VAW prevention does not reach practitioners in ways which are accessible and actionable.
– Equally, the skills, contextual knowledge and learning about implementation practicalities which field staff possess is rarely captured and applied in prevention programming.

– Short 4-6 page briefs -$5000+
Longer evidence synthesis or guidance briefs – $20,000+
Videos’/ animations $10000+
