Using Data to Understand Prevention and Response to Sexual Violence in Eastern DRC

Posted on October 4, 2017

Presentation Summary: This presentation is an overview of the baseline survey and evaluation conducted to measure the impact of IMA WorldHealth’s Ushindi Project on preventing and responding to gender-based violence in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). The baseline survey and impact evaluation were both carried out by Overseas Strategic Consulting. The baseline results demonstrate the stark psycho-social impact gender-based violence can have across a host of mental health and societal indicators. The impact evaluation shows how the Ushindi project aimed to use psycho-social interventions to improve community response toward sexual and gender-based violence.
