The main aim of the manual is to provide those responsible for MHPSS in emergencies with a reference document that can help them in the practical implementation of their activities with a community-based approach. Some of the activities aimed at strengthening the social fabric and helping people overcome their distress described in the manual include sociocultural, artistic, and educational programs and workshops, sport and play, rituals and celebrations, counselling and clinical and social support for those with severe mental disorders. The manual describes ways to integrate mental health and psychosocial support in other activities, like livelihood support, protection of vulnerable cases, and conflict transformation.

Whose Justice, Whose Alternative? Locating women’s voice and agency in alternative dispute resolution responses to intimate partner violence (Beyond Borders, Center for Domestic Violence Prevention (CEDOVIP), and ICRW report, 2016)

April 25, 2019

Intimate partner violence against women is a complex, enormously prevalent crime with devastating effects on women’s safety, health, and well being. With one out of three women worldwide experiencing this violence, its magnitude presents complex challenges to justice systems when survivors of violence seek to formally prosecute perpetrators. Further exacerbating this challenge are the varying individual, family, and community ideas about whether and how such violence – considered a private family matter in many cultural and social contexts – should be made public at all, let alone prosecuted.

Feminist activists insist on a core ethical standard that women survivors of intimate partner violence determine their own course of action in response to violence. But significant obstacles exist in every direction survivors of intimate partner violence may turn.

Both anecdotal and empirical evidence suggests that, in the face of these obstacles, a significant proportion of women survivors of intimate partner violence choose community-based alternative dispute resolution (ADR) mechanisms to help address the violence they are facing. Research finds that as many as 80 percent of disputes made public in the Global South are addressed through the informal justice system.

This report examines how well ADR mechanisms have addressed violence for women around the world by examining the following:

  • What do ADR responses to intimate partner violence look like, particularly in the Global South?
  • To what extent do these approaches prioritize the voice and agency of women survivors of intimate partner violence?
  •  What examples exist of ADR approaches that better prioritize the voice and agency of women survivors of intimate partner violence?

“Zéro Palu ! Je m’engage” l’outil (RBM Partnership to End Malaria, 2018)

April 17, 2019

Le Programme national de lutte contre le paludisme, aux côtés de PATH et de Speak Up Africa, a lancé pour la première fois « Zéro Palu ! Je m’engage » en 2014 au Sénégal. Cette campagne nationale renforce l’appropriation communautaire des efforts de lutte antipaludique et accroît la sensibilisation et l’engagement politique des principales parties prenantes en matière d’éradication du paludisme afin qu’elles en fassent une priorité nationale. La campagne repose sur:

  • l’engagement d’acteurs politiques afin de garantir que l’éradication du paludisme reste une priorité pour les dirigeants sénégalais;
  • la diversification des sources de financement afin d’augmenter les ressources allouées aux interventions de lutte antipaludique et la création de partenariats innovants entre les secteurs public et privé;
  • la création d’un mouvement communautaire afin d’obtenir une plus grande prise de conscience et une appropriation des interventions antipaludiques par les communautés. La sensibilisation des communautés a été effectuée par des champions communautaires lors de visites à domicile, mais aussi par le biais des médias sociaux et d’une série TV spécialement créée pour l’occasion.

L’outil « Zéro Palu ! Je m’engage » est destiné à toutes les personnes ou organisations désireuses de mettre en œuvre des activités de plaidoyer, de mobilisation des ressources ou de communications dans le cadre de la lutte contre le paludisme à travers le continent africain. Les utilisateurs peuvent l’utiliser comme un tout ou sélectionner les modules les plus adaptés à la mise en œuvre de leurs plans nationaux d’élimination du paludisme.
