Midterm Evaluation of: Stamping Out and Preventing Gender-Based Violence in Zambia

This document describes a comprehensive summary of the midterm evaluations of the Stamping Out and Preventing Gender-Based Violence (STOP GBV) program in Zambia. The evaluations aimed to assess the program's effectiveness in reducing gender-based violence and child marriage, and to identify areas for improvement. Various methodological approaches were used, including qualitative and quantitative analyses, in-depth interviews, focus group discussions, and financial analysis. Key findings across the evaluations highlighted successes in raising awareness and providing support to survivors, but also revealed challenges such as reaching rural communities, staff retention, consistent data collection, and access to justice. Recommendations included improving service quality, access to justice, prevention efforts, capacity building, and addressing economic vulnerabilities of survivors. The evaluations concluded that while the program is based on best practices, there are significant gaps in design and implementation that need to be addressed to enhance its effectiveness, sustainability, and cost efficiency. **This summary was written by an AI model and therefore should not be considered a definitive summary of the report.
