SAA Post-Training Impact Evaluation for the MARTAWA ZUROMAYE Project

The evaluation report assesses the impact of the SAA (Social Analysis and Action) training conducted under the MARTAWA ZUROMAYE project, aimed at empowering gender-based violence (GBV) survivors and enhancing their capacity to respond to issues such as early forced marriage (EFM) and female genital mutilation/cutting (FGM/C). The evaluation found that 83% of participants retained knowledge and demonstrated shifts in attitudes regarding GBV after training. It also emphasizes the need for refresher trainings to maintain the effectiveness of the SAA model, using real-life experiences to deepen understanding.
