This report presents the findings and recommendations of a school-related gender-based violence (SRGBV) assessment conducted in Malawi by a team from the Washington, DC-based Safe Schools Program (SSP). The team summarizes the general issues and recommendations as reported by NGO staff, USAID implementing partners of the Malawi Education Support Activity, Malawian educational personnel, and local schoolteachers, parents and students, augmenting these issues and recommendations based on the global literature on best practices. After analyzing the data and general recommendations, the team identified eight priority issues and recommendations that are proposed as the SSP’s pilot program in Malawi.

This document presents the quantitative research instruments used to examine school-related gender-based violence in schools in Malawi.

In June 2002, the EGAT/WID NGO Small Grants Program held the "Conference on Women's Property and Inheritance Rights" in Nairobi, Kenya. Representatives of NGOs that had received funding to support their efforts to strengthen women's property and inheritance rights gathered at the conference to discuss the goals, structures, and outcomes of their work. This paper synthesizes and summarizes those proceedings.
