| Summary: | This manual provides the resources and
tools for organizations and practitioners in post-conflict
settings to sustainably engage men in gender-based violence
prevention through Living Peace groups. The methodology is
based on best practices with male social group-therapy
programs and gender transformative group educational
programs developed by Pro- mundo, which have been assessed
in numerous impact evaluation studies around the world. This
particular manual is based on formative research and
baseline studies that Promundo conducted with local partners
in Burundi and the Democratic Republic of Congo beginning in
2012. Three curricula were developed, implemented and tested
in Goma, DRC (with HEAL Africa and the Institut Superieur du
Lac for Mental Health Professionals), in Burundi (with CARE
Burundi) and in Luvungi, DRC (with Women for Women
International). In total, 27 Living Peace groups were
implemented over 10 to 15 weeks, with 324 men, and in some
cases, their female partners. |
