The National Strategic Plan on Gender-Based Violence and Femicide (NSP on GBVF) is South Africa’s bold, united response to GBVF: a whole-of-society plan designed by government and civil society to drive real, lasting change.
For those new to it, the NSP on GBVF is built on six pillars:
1. Accountability, Coordination & Leadership
2. Prevention & Rebuilding Social Cohesion
3. Justice, Safety & Protection
4. Response, Care, Support & Healing
5. Economic Power
6. Research & Information Management
Our Living Evidence Map is a critical part of Pillar 6, a dynamic resource that strengthens the research and knowledge base needed to inform smart, effective policies and programs.
Watch as the Director of Research and Knowledge at the @DpmeOfficial, Dr Harsha Dayal @Dayal70 explains the policy environment that shaped the development of the Living Evidence Map, with a focus on how the tool supports South Africa’s commitment to evidence-informed policymaking in addressing GBVF under the National Strategic Plan.
