The subsequent report discusses the trends and patterns of funding for organizations in South Africa that address gender-based violence. The study was conducted in two phases. The first phase sought to uncover general perceptions and experiences of civil society organizations (CSOs) that focused on gender-based violence (GBV) or had a dedicated programme or project addressing GBV. In the second phase, a literature review was conducted and 16 donors were interviewed either telephonically or face-to-face. The donors interviewed were chosen based on having a previous track record of funding GBV project. The report concludes with recommendations to improve funding of gender-based violence prevention efforts.
