Evaluation and Learning of Stopping Abuse and Female Exploitation in Zimbabwe

The main objectives of the Evaluation and Learning Unit of the SAFE programme are: • To evaluate the impact and cost-effectiveness of gender-based violence prevention and response interventions under the SAFE programme, and conduct a baseline and end-of-programme ‘midline’ This is to generate understanding of what works and what does not work in reducing gender based violence in Zimbabwe and why, which would provide evidence for follow-on programmes to be able to adapt and, where effective, scale-up. Note it is anticipated that an end line will be procured separately, two years after programme closure; • To conduct research to inform intervention targeting and delivery, • To ensure effective dissemination and uptake of research and evaluation findings to drive programme learning and delivery; • To understand the key drivers and prevalence levels of gender-based violence in Zimbabwe; • To establish a methodology to generate evidence on what works and what does not work in reducing gender-based violence in Zimbabwe and why, which would provide evidence for follow-on programmes to be able to adapt and, where effective, scale-up.
