• The Consultant will be responsible for collecting and analyzing data from Change Agents and community stakeholders as part of the project titled "Mobilizing Community Led Solutions for Addressing Gender-Based Violence in Northern Nigeria," funded by the Ford Foundation.
• The project aims to transform social norms that trigger and drive GBV by understanding the causes of violence against women in three target communities and facilitating targeted interventions to address different forms of violence experienced by women.

Key Outcomes and Goals of the Project

• This project is designed to document achievement towards outcomes directly from the perspective of community stakeholders participating in the proposed activities. Using participatory methods that promote accountability and directly engage community members in monitoring changes over time, WfWI will be able to measure changes in social norms, community member attitudes and tolerance of GBV, knowledge and awareness of critical issues, perceptions of changing trends and their effects, observed institutional changes, and concrete commitments and actions taken in support of violence prevention. Specifically:

Goal: Transform the social norms that trigger and drive GBV

• Outcome: Local stakeholders have improved capacity to respond to community GBV
• Outcome: National CSO actors strengthen advocacy for GBV prevention.
  • Indicator: Change in CSO capacity to influence national-level advocacy (qualitative).

Target Project Location
