🌍 Driving GBV Prevention Across the SADC Region! 💪🏾✨

This week, Evidence & BEYOND is proud to be in South Africa 🇿🇦 facilitating a 4-day GBV prevention workshop on behalf of the SADC Secretariat, with generous support from GIZ 🇩🇪.

🌐 Representatives from 15 SADC countries are coming together to deepen their understanding of the foundational concepts of GBV prevention, translating theory into practice and strengthening their capacity to design and implement evidence-informed, contextually relevant interventions.

📚 This workshop builds on a three-part webinar series, creating space for critical reflection, peer learning, and hands-on engagement with tools and frameworks that can drive sustainable prevention strategies.

We’re energised by the shared commitment, insightful conversations, and powerful vision for a safer, more just region for all. 🙌🏾

Huge thanks to all our partners for making this work possible and to the incredible participants for bringing your passion and expertise into the room. 👏🏾
