Context
The Government of Zambia and the United Nations have developed a Joint Programme on Gender Based Violence (GRZ-UNJP-GBV) Phase II (2019-2022) which is a multi-partner programme designed to reduce the prevalence of gender-based violence (GBV) in Zambia.

Increased access to and use of quality prevention and response services by persons at risk of GBV and survivors (including children and adolescents); 2.

Target districts have increased capacity to
