The workshop is for participants from sub-Saharan Africa dedicated to developing policy communication and advocacy skills. The program will be open to program officials, researchers, and advocates working in the area of gender-based violence. The workshop is being organized with support from the United States Agency for International Development’s (USAID) Global Bureau and Bureau for Africa. The objective of the workshop is to increase the use of available data and information on good practices for the improvement of policies and programs against Gender-based Violence (GBV). Sessions are designed to help participants review types of GBV, the prevailing perspectives on GBV programming, and the common characteristics of promising interventions. The participants will also explore how research and information can influence programs and policies that are directed toward the reduction of gender-based violence. Activities will facilitate the identification of different formats for presenting sensitive information using culturally appropriate messages, as well as the creation of policy-level communication strategies and the development of skills for communicating with policymakers and working with the media. |
