Keeping Girls At School Program Impact Evaluation rwanda edoag care final report

The Keeping Girls At School (KGAS) program is an initiative of CARE Rwanda aimed at reducing the number of girls who drop out of secondary school and increasing the share of girls that transit from lower to upper secondary education. CARE Rwanda and its implementing partners worked in 30 schools, across three districts in the Southern Province. The KGAS initiative has three main channels through which it aims to reduce dropout rates among adolescent girls: i) Providing mentorship opportunities for girls within the context of Girls Clubs; ii) Engaging girls in voluntary savings and loans (VSL) and income-generating activities; and iii) Establishing a Community Score Card (CSC) system that allows girls to comment on and influence institutions affecting their education
experience. [This 86 page document highlights the results of the KGAS program] Read More...

Etude de base du Projet PACTE

Suite à de nombreuses études au Bénin, il a été révélé qu’au moins 7882 enfants vivent en situation d’exploitation dans les marchés ; 7,2% sont victimes de rapts et séquestrations ; 1,4% sont violées et harcelées sexuellement et 89% font l’objet de traite.
CARE est une Organisation Non Gouvernementale qui intervient au Bénin depuis 1999. Grâce au financement de l’Union Européenne, CARE BENIN/TOGO met en oeuvre le projet « Partenariat Contre le Trafic, l'Exploitation des Enfants et les Violences faites aux Filles et aux Femmes » (PACTE) qui vise à contribuer à l'éradication de l'exploitation et des violences envers les enfants et les femmes au Bénin.
Le projet PACTE intervient dans quatre (04) départements, à raison de deux communes par département : Karimama, Malanville, Kalalé, Nikki, Djougou, Ouaké, Kétou et Pobè.
Pour apprécier les changements induits par le Projet, CARE a initié l’étude pour (i) identifier la valeur de base des indicateurs et(ii) analyser les connaissance, attitudes et pratiques sur la question du trafic, l’exploitation des enfants et les violences faites aux femmes et aux enfants.

 Pour 90% des personnes enquêtées, les phénomènes de trafic, d’exploitation et de violences faites aux filles et aux femmes sont effectivement une réalité, et 47% estiment que cela existe bel et bien dans leurs localités ;
 80% reconnaissent les phénomènes de trafic, d’exploitation et de violences faites aux filles et aux femmes comme des fléaux et trouvent qu’il faut s’en préoccuper.
Un an et demi après le début de la mise en oeuvre, l’évaluation révèle aussi que l’arsenal d'acteurs s’investit selon leurs domaines de compétence et parcelles de pouvoir à l’exercice d’éradication des phénomènes de trafic des enfants et des violences basées sur le genre identifiés dans les zones :
 Les acteurs impliqués dans la mise en oeuvre sont bien emmaillés sur les espaces couverts.
 Les groupements AVEC installés par les équipes des ONG et OSC partenaires de CARE Bénin/Togo dans les communes d’intervention du projet sont des creusets d’échanges qui facilitent la mise en oeuvre des activités du projet.
 186 leaders ont une bonne connaissance du projet et 6% sont impliqués dans la dénonciation des cas de violence envers les enfants et les femmes dans leur communauté. Read More...

AMAL QUARTERLY SUMMARY REPORT

CARE International in Nigeria is implementing the AMAL initiative (Adolescent Mothers Against All Odds) to meet adolescents’ SRH needs through the creation of adolescent-responsive health systems and equitable community environments. The AMAL Initiative includes three components: a Young Mothers Club (YMC) for first-time mothers and pregnant adolescents, participatory exercises with health providers, and reflective dialogues with community members. The AMAL Initiative seeks to inform the global evidence base and dialogue around nexus approaches to adolescent-responsive SRH and gender-based violence (GBV) programming. After over a decade of conflict between non-state armed groups and the military, the humanitarian crisis in northeastern Nigeria is intensifying and the health needs of the population are growing. Deteriorating conditions such as ongoing displacement of peoples, lack of resources and shelter, and increased risk of sexual violence have contributed to increases in early and forced marriage for adolescent girls. These high rates of sexual violence and forced early marriage result in significant increases in adolescent pregnancy thereby further compounding the health risks experienced by girls and women in communities.

Conflict and Climate Vulnerability and Capacity Analysis (CCVCA) Ségou region, Mali (GENRE+II Project))

The Ségou region of Mali is experiencing a steady increase in impacts from climate change, such as more erratic and reduced rainfall, increased temperatures, intensified seasonal flooding when rains do occur, and increased incidence of human and livestock diseases. These impacts interact with population pressures and natural resource management challenges to affect historical land use practices, such as agriculture and pastoralism, in the semi-urban and rural communes within the cercles of Baraouéli, Bla and Ségou. In these communes, women engage in a range of livelihood and subsistence activities related to natural resources, such as market gardening and forest product harvesting, often significantly augmenting household income. Therefore, it is important to include women in conflict resolution mechanisms over land and water, accounting for a scenario where climate impacts are predicted to intensify.
The Genre++ project, funded by the UK’s Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO), works with communities to identify and address interrelated causes and impacts of climate vulnerability, conflict and gender inequality. A novel Climate and Conflict Vulnerability and Capacity Assessment (CCVCA) tool was used to carry out a rapid participatory analysis of vulnerabilities and adaptive capacity with representatives from 12 communes in Ségou region (144 female, 156 male) from 9 to 20 March 2023. This report summarises the results of this analysis, discussing how climate change has interacted with other economic and demographic pressures to create tensions around natural resource management. It also details the community members’ current responses, as well as their recommendations for future action. Read More...

Rapid Gender Analysis on Power and Participation Ségou region, Mali (GENRE+II PROJECT)

This Rapid Gender Analysis on Power and Participation (RGA-P) is part of the GENRE+II project in the cercles of Bla, Ségou and Barouéli in the Ségou region of Mali. The project is funded by the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCDO) to build capacity for climate change adaptation, gender equality and social cohesion in the Ségou region.
This RGA-P is the first step in CARE's Women Lead in Emergencies (WLiE) model. It summarises the impact of the crisis on gender roles and relations, the capacity of women/girls to cope, participate and influence decision-making in response to the crisis, and offers ideas on how women can strengthen their own participation and leadership. The RGA-P is based on secondary and primary data collection carried out in March 2023 in eight communes in the cercles of Ségou, Bla and Barouéli in the Ségou region. Read More...

CARE’s Fast and Fair COVID-19 campaign: Comprehensive local-to-global impact

Report available in English, French and Spanish

In November 2020, CARE launched the Fast and Fair campaign to push for fairness and efficiency in the global COVID-19 vaccination effort. We skillfully leveraged our global reach and influence to build and maintain support for more comprehensive funding for vaccine delivery while working hand-in-hand with national and local governments in 34 countries to get the vaccines into the arms of those most in need. Our advocacy and influencing of US and global policy, along with our deep engagement in communities and years of programming investments drove systems-level change that contributed to 21.2 million people getting fully vaccinated in 29 countries. To determine the comprehensive impact of the Fast and Fair campaign, we utilized country case studies, internal program data, and an external evaluation. These sources all affirmed CARE's advocacy and influencing contributions to the global vaccination effort, resulting in millions of vaccinations at the last mile. Read More...

START Network Alert 630 Tuvalu (Drought)-Learning Grant Water and Hygiene Assessment Findings Report

In July 2022, the Government of Tuvalu declared a State of Emergency due to worsening drought conditions across the country. The northern islands were severely impacted, particularly Niutao, where local actors had to turn to distributing bottled water in response to a critical undersupply of household water for drinking and general purposes.
This survey was completed as part of a grant under the START learning initiative, and the main purpose was to conduct a water and hygiene focused needs assessment for drought-affected populations on the three northern islands of Nanumea, Nanumanga and Niutao, with a particular focus on gender and inclusion. The northern islands can be difficult to reach and are often not included in research projects for this reason. Conducting a needs assessment provides data that national and local actors can use to inform ongoing drought response efforts, particularly around longer-term, equitable access to water, as well as assisting in better planning and delivery in future responses. The number of people surveyed was 258, representing 22% of the total population aged 13 and over (although a few 12 year olds were included). A survey conducted in October 2022 by the Tuvalu National Disaster Management Office provided a starting point for the START learning grant exercise.
