The main objectives of the Evaluation and Learning Unit of the SAFE programme are: • To evaluate the impact and cost-effectiveness of gender-based violence prevention and response interventions under the SAFE programme, and conduct a baseline and end-of-programme 'midline' This is to generate understanding of what works and what does not work in reducing gender based violence in Zimbabwe and why, which would provide evidence for follow-on programmes to be able to adapt and, where effective, scale-up.
