Description
This report has been commissioned by the Gauteng Planning Commission to strengthen the impact of existing programmes and policies and ultimately reduce occurrences of violence against women (VAW) and child sexual abuse (CSA) in Gauteng. The aim of this evaluation synthesis is three-fold: to catalogue and critically assess research undertaken to date in this field; to extract key learnings around effective programming in this area; and identify gaps for future research, including interventions that require evaluation. The report thus also provides a critical assessment of the state of programme evaluation and identifies areas of future intervention for the Planning Commission in Gauteng.
