INTRODUCTION Gender-based violence (GBV) threatens the overall well-being of South Sudan’s population, particularly women and children. Though there are no reliable GBV national prevalence statistics for South Sudan, one recent study estimated that in some conflict-affected locations 65 percent of women and girls in South Sudan have experienced physical and/or sexual violence in their lifetime.1 The USAID/South Sudan Mission recognizes that GBV has not only negative consequences for those who experience violence, but also has a negative impact on efforts to promote peace, resilience, economic prosperity for women/girls and men/ boys, and for development in South Sudan across all sectors. As a result, the Mission hired Banyan Global to develop a GBV roadmap to identify measurable and trackable interventions to prevent and respond to GBV across the mission’s priority sectors. 1.1 ROADMAP OBJECTIVE This roadmap aims to equip USAID/South Sudan USAID South Sudan Goal staff with succinct guidance to design and implement for Addressing GBV effective strategies and interventions that integrate GBV prevention and response within the current USAID South Sudan’s goal is to make a USAID/South Sudan Operational Framework measurable and trackable contributions (2016-present) and Interim Performance Management to GBV prevention, mitigation, and Plan (I-PMP) (valid until 2021). It identifies GBV response in South Sudan. programming gaps and proposes next steps for the remaining two years of the current I-PMP to This contribution will be measured by implement in coordination with other key stakeholders the amount of USD invested per sector (government, civil society organizations, national that is specifically for GBV prevention, and international NGOs, and other donors) carrying mitigation, and response and by out programming on GBV prevention and response. measuring sector-based results. To support the implementation of next steps, the Roadmap also includes key resources and tools that are particularly applicable in the South Sudan context. 1.2 STRUCTURE OF ROADMAP Recognizing the scale and scope of GBV in South Sudan, this two-year GBV Roadmap provides specific and measurable recommendations for the Mission to raise awareness and commitment and ultimately to mitigate and respond to GBV in targeted communities where USAID projects and activities are implemented. The GBV Roadmap has four core sections: • Section 2: Integrating GBV in the USAID/South Sudan Operational Framework: This section provides a Theory of Change (TOC) and an overview of how to integrate GBV into the Mission’s current operational framework • Section 3: GBV Roadmap Programmatic Guiding Principles: This section offers cross-sectoral guidance on approaches to GBV programming within the South Sudan context. • Section 4: GBV Prevention and Response Roadmap: Key Pathways for Action: This section provides a strategic and programmatic roadmap for the Mission’s GBV prevention and response programming in alignment with the Mission’s operational framework. It focuses on key actions to USAID/SOUTH SUDAN GENDER-BASED VIOLENCE PREVENTION AND RESPONSE ROADMAP 9 make the TOC actionable, including how to enhance the mission staff’s GBV literacy and capacity, and how to implement programming in priority sectors including: health and water, sanitation and hygiene; education; economic growth; democracy and governance/peace and reconciliation; and humanitarian assistance. Within this context it draws linkages to the guiding principles in Section 3. • Section 5: Guidelines to address GBV in Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning (MEL): This section includes proposed actions for USAID/South Sudan to enhance monitoring, evaluation, and learning on the GBV programming included in Section 4. • Section 6: Key GBV Programming Resources: This section provides programming resources, including many that are linked directly the recommendations in Section 4. Annex A presents the Literature Review that includes part of the evidence for the Roadmap; Annex B is the USAID Program and Donor Report that informed this Roadmap; Annex C includes details on the proposed GBV literacy training discussed in Section 4; Annex D provides a list of key documents consulted; and Annex E lists key stakeholders interviewed for this Roadmap. 10 USAID/SOUTH SUDAN GENDER-BASED VIOLENCE PREVENTION AND RESPONSE ROADMAP 2.
