Abstract Information: For more than two decades, the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) has worked with a wide array of partners to increase awareness of the scope of Gender Based Violence (GBV) and its impact; improve services for survivors; and strengthen prevention and response efforts. In 2023, NORC at the University of Chicago (NORC) carried out a portfolio performance evaluation of 20 GBV activities funded by USAID’s Gender Equality and Women’s Empowerment Hub. The evaluation was designed to identify facilitators and barriers to intervention effectiveness, where knowledge still needs to be developed, and areas to improve delivery, uptake and effectiveness of future programming. NORC collected data in 19 countries from GBV survivors, intervention participants, service providers, and implementing partners. In this paper, NORC presents key findings and recommendations for future GBV programming, based on feedback from underrepresented populations such as youth, LGBTQIA+ GBV survivors, men who serve as gatekeepers, indigenous populations, and those experiencing vicarious trauma as GBV service providers.
