Our global Gender-Based Violence (GBV) team provides strategic technical support to actors across the GBV ecosystem from donors to community-level women-led organisations. We are a multi-disciplinary team delivering programme design and implementation support, advocacy, research reports, MEL and helpdesk services.
Our team aspires to apply our feminist principles in all our work and to support sustained and transformative change. We partner with diverse stakeholders and we take an intersectional approach to our work on GBV prevention and response across development and humanitarian contexts.
Our work includes primary prevention programming, community-level response to GBV and SEAH, school-related GBV, GBV in Emergencies, Technology-Facilitated GBV, Violence against LGBTQI+ communities, and GBV in Climate and Economic programming.

This tip sheet provides an overview of a survivor-centered approach and why and how it should be used for all types and phases of GBViE programming.
In many contexts where we work, implementing GBViE activities safely for GBV survivors and women and girls at risk of GBV will require attention and resources to overcome language and cultural barriers. It is necessary that women and girls who disclose difficult or traumatic experiences can do so using a language in which they are comfortable. In such contexts we may need to draw on the specific support of professionals with a specific skillset who can help us understand adequately: these are interpreters and linguistic and cultural mediators.
In February 2021, the Tithetse Nkhanza (TN) team came together (virtually) to review the programme’s gender equality and social inclusion (GESI) strategy. In this brief, members of the Tithetse Nkhanza team reflected on the process of integrating GESI into the programme and why it has been important, and discussing lessons learned.
This technical briefing note seeks to share learning from this pilot process with other programmes that seek to improve the extent to which they measure the presence of people with disabilities in violence against women and girls (VAWG) prevention and response activities at the community level.
The Tithetse Nkhanza programme is committed to being gender transformative and to leaving no one behind. This document provides an overview to our overarching, cross-programme Gender Equality and Social Inclusion (GESI) Strategy, which aims to ensure we are systematic and pragmatic about embedding this ambition, and that we can track our progress. This strategy will provide a guiding framework throughout the lifespan of the programme setting out what we want to achieve on gender equality and social inclusion (GESI) and how we aim to accomplish this.
This Technical Briefing Note provides a short introductory explanation to the Safeguarding Complaints Mechanism Knowledge Survey, designed and implemented by the Malawi Violence Against Women and Girls (VAWG) Prevention and Response programme also known as the Tithetse Nkhanza (TN).
This document presents a snapshot of findings from the baseline study for the Moyo Olemekezeka intervention. It is intended to complement other learning products produced related to MO, including the MO adaptation learning brief, and the MO manuals, which together create a package of background information and training materials that may be useful to practitioners wishing to implement this, or a similar programme in the future.
This research aims to unpack the intersectionality between intimate partner violence and child support as "an important, yet often overlooked prognosis". This research was conducted as a response to a call made to the Technical Legal Advisor (TLA) by the Malawi Judiciary to undertake an analysis of best practices so as to inform the better enforcement of child maintenance orders.
This is a rapid review of disability-inclusive Violence Against Women and Girls (VAWG) programming in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). The review was produced under Tithetse Nkhanza! (TN), a UK government Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO)1-funded VAWG Prevention and Response programme in Malawi, which has chosen to prioritise disability inclusion in its Gender Equality and Social Inclusion (GESI) Strategy.
This Gender, Inclusion, Power and Politics (GIPP) analysis report examines the impact of the 2020 fresh presidential election and the COVID-19 pandemic on the operating environment in Malawi for the Tithetse Nkhanza Programme’s work on Violence Against Women and Girls (VAWG) prevention and response.
