Abstract

The United States’ Strategy to Prevent and Respond to GenderBased Violence (GBV) Globally states that “unless women, girls, men and boys fully enjoy their human rights and are free from violence, progress towards development will fall short” (United States Government 2012). This holds true in the context of agriculture and market systems development (MSD) projects1. These projects may come face to face with GBV and can take small, tangible actions to achieve an immediate difference in reducing GBV risk. The Toolkit to Address Gender-Based Violence in Agriculture and Market Systems Development seeks to prepare agriculture and MSD project staff to better identify and implement actions to address GBV where it arises in their projects.
