- Evaluation Type: Impact Evaluation
- Keywords: Early Forced Marriage (EFM), Female Genital Mutilation/Cutting (FGM/C), Gender-based violence (GBV), Social Analysis and Action (SAA), Survivor-Centered Approaches
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.
