Global Evaluation Initiative 3d ago

Gender-based violence (GBV) remains one of the most serious threats to the safety and dignity of women and girls in South Sudan. Despite government and humanitarian efforts, survivors, especially in remote and conflict-affected areas, continue to face major barriers in accessing timely, confidential, and coordinated support. To generate evidence for program and policy improvements, World Vision South Sudan commissioned a rapid assessment of GBV referral networks in Twic and Gogrial West Counties of Warrap State. The goal was to identify service gaps, coordination challenges, and promising practices to strengthen survivor-centered response systems. As part of Glocal Evaluation Week 2026, this session was organized by World Vision South Sudan to share key findings and lessons from the assessment.
