Stand Up, Speak Out: Breaking the silence around gender based violence among ethnic minority communities in Northern Vietnam
Violence against women is a global issue. Eliminating violence is one of the key priorities for countries worked to promote gender equality. The National study on violence against women in Vietnam in 2010 and 20191 showed that most violence against women is perpetrated by husbands/partners or acquaintances. Most cases are unreported to the authorities. Gender inequality is both an underlying cause and a consequence of violence against women – gender inequality is more common where women are undervalued compared to men and still experienced violence, which hampers women's empowerment.
The Vietnamese Government has implemented numerous programs and action plans on preventing and responding to gender based violence (GBV)/domestic violence,and has supported civil society organizations (CSOs) in implementing intervention projects on GBV. In such a general context, with the support of the European Union, the SUSO project implemented by CARE International in Vietnam and Light has been carried out in 4 communes: Muong Phang, Pa Khoang, Thanh Nua and Hua Thanh of Dien Bien province, which is a poor province in the socio-economic region with the highest density of poor population (MOLISA and other organizations, 2018), from March 2018 to January 2022, with the goal of breaking the silence around GBV among ethnic minority communities in Northern Vietnam.
This final evaluation report aims to assess the project’s impacts/outcomes and key lessons learned using the OECD/DAC criteria as the guideline. Read More...

POST-PROJECT LEAD IMPACT ASSESSMENT “INTEGRATING SOCIAL ACCOUNTABILITY INTO DEVELOPMENT EDUCATION
The project "Integrating Social Accountability in Education for Development" (LEAD) is a social accountability project understood as the continuous process of improving collaborative relationships, compliance with commitments made, and accountability between institutional actors and citizens in order to contribute to participatory governance in the education system. The LEAD project ran from October 1, 2014 to September 30, 2018. It was funded by the World Bank's Global Partnership for Social Accountability (GPSA). It aimed to improve the performance of the education system not only within schools but also at the provincial (DPMEN1) and regional (AREF2) levels. During this period, the project was piloted in 50 schools between the region of Marrakech- Safi (Province of Al Haouz) and Casablanca- Settat (Prefecture of Sidi Bernoussi). Read More...
ETUDE DE BASE : Projet Walindé
L’Extrême Nord du Cameroun est confronté depuis plusieurs années à des problématiques structurelles. La vulnérabilité des ménages à l’insécurité alimentaire, au réchauffement climatique ou encore aux épidémies, a été exacerbée par la crise sécuritaire autour du Lac Tchad, ayant causé un déplacement important de population.
Elle est la région la plus pauvre du Cameroun, avec 74% de la population vivant sous le seuil de pauvreté (mois d’1,125€/jour) contre 37,5% au niveau national (INS : 2014). De plus, l’incidence de la pauvreté est plus élevée en milieu rural (66%) qu’en milieu urbain (7%).
L’Extrême Nord dispose d’une faible couverture en services de base, notamment en matière d’eau et d’assainissement. D’après l’UNICEF, le taux d’accès à l’eau potable dans le Nord du Cameroun est de 53% contre 73% dans le Centre du pays (UNICEF : 2017). En 2017, seuls 16% des écoles dans le Mayo Tsanga et 24% dans le Mayo Kani – les deux départements d’intervention – disposent d’un accès à l’eau. Le ratio latrine par élève est compris entre 249 pour le Mayo Kani et 352 pour le Mayo Tsanga, soit 5 à 6 fois plus que les standards fixés par l’UNICEF. Le nombre restreint d’infrastructures adaptées, telles que les latrines sexospécifiques, constitue un frein à la scolarisation des enfants notamment des jeunes filles.1 L’absence d’intimité pour changer ou nettoyer les protections menstruelles, de matériel hygiénique, ainsi que les tabous autour des menstruations poussent de nombreuses filles à quitter l’école lors de leurs règles.
Dans les zones rurales, la présence de dispositifs de lavage de mains (DLM) fonctionnels au sein des écoles reste rare, ce qui limite fortement le lavage des mains des élèves et des enseignants ainsi que la mise en pratique des mesures de prévention contre la COVID-19. Faute de moyens, d’infrastructures et de formations, les enseignements relatifs à l’eau, l’hygiène et l’assainissement ne se traduisent pas systématiquement par le changement des comportements.
Pour répondre à cette situation, le projet de CARE Cameroun envisage de mettre en oeuvre le projet intitulé « aider les autres », ou « Walindé » en langue Fulfuldé, dont l’objectif global est de renforcer l'accès aux services de bases en matière d'eau, d'hygiène et d'assainissement (EHA) et aux services informels d'épargne et de crédit dans la région de l'Extrême Nord du Cameroun. De manière spécifique, cet objectif se traduit à travers l’amélioration la couverture en eau potable et l’accès aux services d'épargne et de crédit pour les femmes et les jeunes dans les communes de Mokolo, Hina, Yagoua, Kaélé.
CARE est intervenu dans les communes de Mokolo et Hina (Mayo Tsanga), Yagoua et Kaélé (Mayo Danay), respectivement dans le cadre des projets RESILIANT (2017-2020), COOPERER I et II (2016-2017 / 2019-2020). La continuité de ces programmes est actuellement assurée par les projets PEREN (Mokolo et Hina) et COOPERER III (Yagoua et Kaélé), qui visent respectivement (1) au renforcement de la résilience des populations vulnérables face aux crises alimentaires, (2) à l’amélioration de l’accès aux services sociaux de bases et aux opportunités économiques.

SHOUHARDO III – Capturing the changes and impacts of reformed Community Groups
SHOUHARDO III program established the Community-level Thematic Groups in the inception year of the program in 2016 to facilitate the large-scale program interventions on Agriculture and Livelihoods (Farmers’ Field Business School/FFBS), Health and Nutrition (Maternal Child Health and Nutrition/MCHN groups and Mother Groups), Women’s Empowerment (Empowerment Knowledge and Transformative Action/EKATA), and Governance (Village Development Committees) with additional components represented by the youth groups and Village Savings and Loan Associations (VSLA). These groups were reformed into gender and age-specific Community Groups (CG) following the midterm evaluation in 2018 that provided recommendations on putting in place a sustainability strategy.

Building sustainable and scalable peer-based programming: promising approaches from TESFA in Ethiopia
This research was written by Pari Chowdhary, Feven Tassaw Mekuria, Dagmawit Tewahido, Hanna Gulema, Ryan Derni, and Jefrey Edmeades.
In Ethiopia's Amara region, girls encounter child marriage at a high rate. They are also less able to negotiate sex or use family planning. With the purpose of improving their lives, CARE's TESFA program delivered reproductive health and financial savings curriculum to married girls through peer-based solidarity groups to 5,000 adolescent girls. This was divided into 3 interventions: sexual and reproductive health, economic empowerment, and a combination of both. Participants reported improvement in both areas. Four years after TESFA, 88% of groups communicated meeting without continued CARE's assistance, and some of the girl participants created new groups following the TESFA model. Also, some girls that did not participate in TESFA, replicated the model to create their own groups. Despite this, there is still in question who contributed to this sustainment and scale-up of groups.
