The USAID-funded Health Policy Project (HPP) is pleased to announce the next webinar in hosted by the Community of Practice on Scale-up and Gender, Policy and Measurement (GPM).  As part of a Gender-Based Violence Initiative under the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR), in 2013, the Walter Reed Program/Henry M. Jackson Foundation Medical Research International launched a multi-sectoral, gender-based violence (GBV) program in Mbeya Region, Tanzania.  The program aims to improve services for GBV survivors at public health facilities and strengthen community awareness and actions to reduce GBV. The USAID project, Tathmini GBV, is assessing the impact of this program with the aim of informing GBV program scale-up throughout Tanzania and globally. Susan Settergren, Tathmini GBV principal investigator, will provide an overview of the Tathmini GBV study design, methodology, and implementation. She will discuss issues and challenges in undertaking rigorous evaluations of multi-component GBV interventions.
