This webinar explored the social norms marketing approach used by the Voices for Change initiative to inspire young people’s attitudinal and behavior change towards women’s role in household decision-making, women’s leadership, and violence against women and girls in Nigeria. The Voices for Change team shared insights around the design of the approach and the monitoring and evaluation system developed to track the audience response to the mass-media communications, changes in attitudes and behaviors throughout the period of implementation, and how the change happened.
Building on current momentum, InterAction’s Protection Team, with support from the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (SIDA) seeks to contribute to a strategic and cultural shift within the humanitarian community to better achieve protection outcomes.
In light of emerging initiatives to design strategies to prevent sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV), this presents a unique opportunity to apply results-based approaches to SGBV prevention and to develop guidance related to measuring results and outcomes. While there are some notable efforts underway, practitioners struggle to measure the results and outcomes of prevention programs.
InterAction has undertaken two Protection-focused missions to Nigeria in the past 18 months, focused on identifying ways that the humanitarian response can work to reduce risk. This trip is meant to build on the previous missions and will focus on the challenges of protection analysis and decision-making in an increasingly complex context. This mission supports the field-level component of InterAction’s SIDA-funded project, Strengthening Ways of Working for Protection Outcomes.
Given the COVID-19 pandemic, InterAction’s RBP team answers some questions about its progress and how it envisions carrying out its activities for the remainder of its two-year project called “Strengthening Ways of Working for Protection Outcomes” which is made possible through funding from the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (Sida).
