Job Details:

Specific Objectives.

Assess the community’s awareness of GBV and evaluate their capacity to recognize, prevent, and respond to gender-based violence (GBV)
Evaluate the community's prior knowledge of the SASA! Together methodology, its relevance, and the expected outcomes of its implementation in the context of the target communities.
Map existing service support structures within the communities, assessing their relevance and potential to support the successful implementation of the SASA! Together methodology.
Scope of the assessment

Geographical Scope

The baseline assessment will be conducted in selected communities across the six targeted project districts—Yumbe, Koboko, Terego, Maracha, Nebbi, and Pakwach—where SASA! Together will be implemented. It will ensure representation of diverse population groups, particularly adolescents (especially girls), young people, persons with disabilities, and other vulnerable or marginalized populations.

Thematic Scope

The assessment will explore several thematic areas including community knowledge, attitudes, beliefs, and practices related to gender-based violence (GBV), gender equality, and power dynamics. It will also examine community perceptions and readiness for social norm transformation, levels of awareness and understanding of the SASA! Together methodology, and barriers and enablers to GBV prevention and response at the community level.

Stakeholder Engagement

Stakeholder engagement will be central to the assessment, involving a broad spectrum of actors such as community members, local leaders, community activists, youth and women’s groups, service providers (health, protection, and legal), and representatives of persons with disabilities. Their perspectives will provide critical insights into the contextual factors that may influence the implementation of SASA! Together.

Service Mapping

In addition, the assessment will include a mapping of existing GBV and sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) service providers, community support structures, and referral pathways. This will help determine their alignment with the SASA! Together approach and identify opportunities for strengthening coordination and service integration to support sustainable GBV prevention and response.
