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.

From January 2014 to January 2017, the UN Trust Fund to End Violence against Women funded SOS-Esclaves’ initiative “Justice for Women Leaving Slavery” in Mauritania. The project was built on interconnected activities and international advocacy. The final evaluation found it had been particularly successful in providing legal and educational support for women and children through training, access to legal services and work with government institutions.

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.
