The Strategic Initiative for Women in The Horn of Africa (SIHA) Network implemented the “Challenging Patterns and Drivers of Sexual Violence Against Women and Girls in Wau State, South Sudan” for over three years in 2018-2021 with the support of the UN Trust Fund. The project aimed to promote positive shifts in attitudes, behaviours and practices around sexual violence against women and girls in South Sudan’s Internally Displaced Person (IDP) communities, resulting in both an end to normalization and increased condemnation of sexual violence. The final evaluation found that the project was successfully implemented. 

The project Integrated Governmental and Community Based Strategy for Response and Prevention of Violence against Women in South Sudan was implemented by the American Refugee Committee from September 2011 to August 2013, and received three-year grant support from the UN Trust Fund to End Violence against Women. The final evaluation found that the programme creatively engaged multi-sectoral service providers in the government and communities to respond effectively to gender-based violence issues by transforming attitudes and norms to the benefit of the entire society.
