This former TBD (#13070) was awarded to 3 partners: The goal of the STOP/GBV program is to eliminate gender-based violence in a holistic, systematic and comprehensive manner through a multi-sectoral approach. The objectives of the program are: to increase prevention of and respond to GBV in Zambia through an enhanced community response; to improve availability and uptake of quality GBV clinical and psychological services for adults and children; and to improve capacity of GBV service providers including police and other law enforcement personnel to respond to GBV cases. The program addresses GBV, one of the key drivers of HIV transmission and the reason for high prevalence of HIV among females.

The program will initially be implemented in seven districts (Chipata, Kabwe, Kitwe, Livingstone, Lusaka, Mazabuka, and Ndola). New districts will also be added later in the project. The program is targeting GBV survivors, service providers, women, men, girls, boys, youth groups, traditional leaders, policy and law makers engaged in the preservation and safeguarding of customary practices.

USAID Zambia will implement this program with a local organization and relevant government ministries to ensure the sustainability and encourage country ownership. Strategic coordination and integration will be assured through working with government ministries which will ensure that more national resources are allocated for GBV activities. Linkages with other donor agencies implementing GBV activities will be created to avoid duplication of efforts. Key GBV activities will include providing support to GBV partner to coordinate GBV activities and monitoring the GBV response.

Vehicles will be required to reach out to the various communities in various target districts.
