 LESSONS LEARNED

To have concrete results in the fight against

CENTRE D'EXCELLENCE


GBV, local authorities should be the first to
be involved.
 Men are still reluctant to support the
movement for the fight against GBV even
though they are convinced that gender
equality is the only way to integrate
development.
