Spotlight Initiative and SVRI – in partnership with the Australian Volunteers Programme – are hosting a webinar to reflect on the learnings from the Spotlight Initiative’s participatory monitoring, evaluation and reporting approach for community accountability. Spotlight Initiative is the world’s largest global, multilateral effort aimed at ending all forms of violence against women and girls. Over the last 6 years, they have established comprehensive programming across 25 countries and 5 regions and are scaling up for greater reach. As part of this work, Spotlight has developed ways of doing monitoring, evaluation and reporting that centre the experiences, knowledge, and leadership of those most affected. This webinar will share practical tools and lessons on how to design monitoring and learning processes that are feminist in approach, support shared decision-making and strengthen accountability to communities.
