Background and Context of the Project 

The Strategic Initiative for Women in the Horn of Africa (SIHA Network) is a regional coalition of civil society organizations operating across Sudan, South Sudan, Somalia, Somaliland, Ethiopia, Djibouti, and Uganda. Founded in 1995 by grassroots activists, SIHA works to advance gender equality by combating systemic oppression, ending gender-based violence (GBV), dismantling harmful cultural and religious norms, and expanding women’s access to justice and economic opportunities. Through advocacy, capacity-building, and direct interventions, SIHA empowers marginalized communities, particularly in conflict-affected regions, to challenge patriarchal structures and drive social change.

Scope of the Evaluation 

The evaluation will cover: 

  • All project activities implemented over three years (e.g., capacity-building for CSOs, awareness campaigns, advocacy for the Sexual Offenses Bill). 
  • Geographic focus: 10 selected IDP settlements in Hargeisa and Banaadir, where SV prevalence is high. 
  • Target groups: IDP/minority women and girls, frontline service providers, women’s rights organizations (WROs), and policymakers. 
  • Cross-cutting themes: Gender equality, human rights, and intersectionality. 

Objectives of the Evaluation 

Overall, the evaluation will:  

  1. Assess the entire project (August 1, 2022 – July 31, 2025) against effectiveness, relevance, efficiency, sustainability, and impact (intended/unintended) in addressing SV against IDP and minority women and girls.
