This qualitative evaluation examines the LCSPP-sponsored project, Women and Girls in Haiti’s Reconstruction: Assessing and Preventing Gender-Based Violence. Implemented from September 2011 to September 2012 by two non-governmental organizations, U.S.-based MADRE and Haiti-based KOFAVIV, the project used a human rights-based approach to prevent and respond to gender-based violence. The evaluation used mixed methods, combining a desk review of project reports; interviews with program beneficiaries, community outreach workers, and key program personnel; focus group discussions with community outreach workers; and a survey conducted in and around four camps for internally-displaced persons. The evaluation highlights lessons learned and makes recommendations related to community-based organizations, capacity building, accountability structures, economic opportunities for women, and monitoring and evaluation frameworks.
