About this brief
This brief presents a synthesis of a feminist leadership capacity strengthening initiative provided to support Women‑Led Organisation (WLO) partners in South Sudan from December 2024 to June 2025, as part of The Gender-Based Violence Prevention South Sudan (GBVPSS) Programme. It draws from two workshop reports, five online coaching session summaries, participant feedback and pre/post evaluation data. The activities aimed to strengthen transformative feminist leadership practices within WLOs working on gender‑based violence (GBV) prevention and response in South Sudan.
The What Works Ending Violence against Women and Children (VAWC) Helpdesk provides technical assistance to this multi-year FCDO programme.
