ALAFIA received funding from the UN Trust Fund to End Violence against Women to implement the project “Eradication of harmful customary widowhood practices that can lead to HIV/AIDS infection” in 24 villages in Togo. The final evaluation showed that the project ended degrading and humiliating widowhood rites against women in these villages and established the principle of equal sharing of inheritance between women and men.

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.
