Three key issues motivated this research: (1) CARE’s ambition is to ensure that its CVA work is designed with and for women and girls, addressing their needs, challenges, and opportunities. (2) In line with this, CARE is strengthening its research, evidence, and knowledge management capacities. (3) The organization is also committed to convening others to improve policy, practice, and research on gender-sensitive CVA.
The study was conducted in Haiti, Jordan, Malawi, Niger, and the Philippines to draw directly from the experiences of those affected by crisis in a range of environments. The priority was to hear from the project participants themselves. We engaged with 380 women and men in focus group discussions, storytelling, and individual interviews. The country-level research was supplemented by a global-level literature review and semi-structured interviews with CARE staff.
