It has also allowed us to compare and contrast intervention design and implementation across a diverse portfolio. In so doing, it offers the opportunity to identify those elements shared by programmes that reduced VAWG, as well as those that did not demonstrate an effect, either because of limitations in their theoretical foundation and design, or shortcomings in their implementation. In this report, our goal is to offer reflections on the interventions in the What Works portfolio, focusing on aspects of their design and implementation that influenced their success in reducing VAWG, to help guide future programming. (From the introduction). Four intervention approaches are covered: community activism, gender transformation and economic empowerment, couples and special populations, and prevention of violence among and against children. The What Works global VAWG prevention project was completed in 2020. Access the website for more information about the many programmes and interventions undertaken by this project.
