The NSP GBVF Implementation Collaborative is piloting the 100-Day Challenge process as a way to fast-track the implementation of the National Strategic Plan on Gender-Based Violence and Femicide (NSP GBVF) at local level.
A team of Ambassadors focused on research and information management is facilitating a workshop on 17 February 2022 aimed at improving data collection and management in the child sexual and related offenses ecosystem. Participants from various sectors including SAPS, WCED, DOJ, DSD, and NGOs will gather at Knysna Hollow to decide on a specific challenge to achieve impact in 100 days.
100-Day Challenges are structured journeys for frontline teams and leaders that are designed to inspire and enable intense collaboration, continuous innovation, and fast and disciplined execution.
Gender-Based Violence and Femicide (GBVF) was officially declared a national crisis in 2019 following the first ever GBVF Summit on the African continent in 2018. The National Strategic Plan on GBVF was developed in consultation with all roleplayers and published at the beginning of 2020. Ever since, the largest single volunteer network in South Africa, the NSPGBVF Multi-sectoral Implementation Collaborative, has been working tirelessly to build the necessary capacity to bring this plan to action.
Over the past two years there have been great strides from an overarching legislative perspective and decision-makers are beginning to gain a deeper understanding of the structural drivers that allow this problem to continue. Nonetheless, we still have a long way to go.
Six teams will be working in 7 districts to localise the implementation of the NSP GBVF over the next 7 months. The work currently in progress will set the stage for 100-Day Challenges to kick off at the beginning of March 2022. Follow us on social media to stay updated about our progress.
