About the Organisation
Terms of Reference for the Final Evaluation of the EU-Funded Action "Civil Society United Against GBV in Kisii and Nyamira Counties"
The goal of International Solidarity Foundation (ISF) 2022–25 development programme was to strengthen the bodily integrity and livelihood resilience of women and girls in Kenya, Somaliland, and Ethiopia.
As part of this programme, the EU-funded action "Civil Society United Against GBV in Kisii and Nyamira Counties" has been supporting three projects in Kenya's Kisii and Nyamira counties in 2023-26. Two of the projects have been implemented by ISF's local partners, the Centre for Community Mobilization and Empowerment (CECOME) and Manga Health Education Africa Resource Team (Manga HEART). These projects have focused on the prevention of gender-based violence (GBV), particularly female genital mutilation (FGM) and intimate partner violence (IPV). The third project, Financial Support for Third Parties (FSTP), has been implemented by ISF. Through organisational capacity-strengthening training and small grants for local activists and civil society actors, the project has aimed to strengthen grassroots movements working to end GBV and support advocacy for the rights and inclusion of affected communities.
