Between January 2016 and December 2018, the Africa Alliance of YMCAs implemented the project “A Real Man Is” in Zambia and Kenya, with funding from the UN Trust Fund to End Violence against Women. The final evaluation found that the project left women and girls feeling safer and better protected from violence, and increased the engagement of men and boys in initiatives aimed at protecting women from physical and sexual violence.

The UN Trust Fund to End Violence against Women provided funding for “Women’s Empowerment in Afghanistan and Tajikistan for Displaced Persons through Legal Aid and Training to Combat Violence against Women” initiative from January 2013 – November 2015. The evaluation found the most significant change to be the increasing awareness of women’s rights and SBGV in Afghanistan.

The project Our Girls, Our Future: Building Synergy to End Violence Against Girls, implemented by the Tisunge Ana Athu Akazi Coalition and facilitated by Equality Now in Lusaka, Zambia from January 2010 to December 2012, was awarded a three-year grant by the UN Trust Fund to End Violence against Women. The final evaluation concluded that the model was valuable to share because it targeted perpetrators, victims, the community and organizations that could support the survivors of violence.
