Focused on driving sustainable development across sectors, the United States Agency for International Development, USAID, has organised the Collective Action to Reduce Gender-Based Violence (CARE-GBV).
Designed for qualified organisations globally, the programme seeks innovative concept note applications for small grants. Leveraging these grants, capacity to generate solutions that elevate the role of staff wellness and resiliency in promoting high-quality, sustainable, and survivor-centred gender-based violence (GBV) prevention and response programming, fill global data gaps related to GBV, and promote learning will be built.
Gender-based violence (GBV) is a pervasive violation of human rights and a barrier to civic, social, political, and economic participation. GBV undermines not only the safety, dignity, overall health, and agency of the millions of individuals who experience it, but also the public health, economic stability, and security of nations.
As a part of its sustainability plan, the programme also seeks to strengthen and create knowledge, while building awareness of the need to reduce gender-based violence globally.
