Gender-based violence (GBV)
Purpose and scope of the analysis 
The overall purpose of the analysis is to illuminate the dynamics, triggers and root causes, as well as alternative solutions to mitigate VAWG (particularly female genital mutilation/cutting and partner violence) in the lives of the beneficiaries and their communities at large. It also aims to shed light on the understanding on the prevalence, severity, culpability and preventability of various types of VAWG among community members (rights holders) and relevant duty bearers. As rigid gender norms and harmful gender stereotypes often give rise to VAWG, they constitute a crucial part of the analysis. 
 
The topics and questions below are preliminary. The scope of the analysis will be agreed upon together with the consultant, ISF and ISF partners during the inception phase: 
 
  • Mandatory component: Gender norms analysis to explore the underlying gender stereotypes, norms and ideals in the target communities:  

  • Mandatory component: FGM analysis to explore the local dynamics and understandings in the target communities: 

  • Mandatory component: Domestic/partner violence analysis to explore the local dynamics and understandings in the target communities: 

  • Optional component (based on the desk review findings): Non-partner sexual violence, abuse, and harassment analysis to explore the local dynamics and understandings in the target communities: 
  •  
  • Mandatory component: Stakeholder analysis  

Methodology and sampling 
The inception phase entails preliminary discussions with each project team and desk review of at least the following documents: 
•       ISF 2022-25 Development Programme and Ethiopia Country Programme 
•       ISF partners’ initial 2022-25 project concept notes  
•       ISF Ethics and safety guidelines for addressing VAWG
