Since mid-2015, Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC) is conducting a capitalization process on its work in addressing Sexual and Gender-based Violence (SGBV). After an initial screening of project documents in summer 2015, a questionnaire was developed for a SDC-wide consultation process. A particular focus was set on five priority countries and regions representing different contexts (conflict, post-conflict/transitional and development contexts) in which SDC and its partners have substantive SGBV programs.
From 2-5 February 2016, Swiss Embassy in Bosnia and Herzegovina hosted a workshop in Sarajevo to discuss results and lessons learnt from the capitalization process on SDC’s Sexual and Gender-based Violence Programs. For this reason, SDC program managers and their implementing partners travelled from Afghanistan, Bolivia, Burundi, Democratic Republic of Congo, Lebanon, Nepal, Rwanda and Tajikistan to BiH. In addition, Swiss NGO partners and their partners from BiH (Medica Zenica, Vive žene Tuzla, Budućnost Modriča) participated at the workshop.
