violence’’
Kivulini Annual Program Report 2013 Page 2
Introduction
Kivulini works to inspire and support phased community mobilization interventions that
seeks to foster a non-tolerance of violence by reducing the acceptability of violence against
women and creating a sense of responsibility to act to prevent it. Kivulini also develop and
strengthen the community based structures that increase activism and ongoing support in
the prevention of intimate partner violence.
Kivulini’s vision is a community free from domestic violence against women and girls that
respects and values women’s rights. Kivulini therefore exists to facilitate the creation of
social, economic and legal environments within society that guarantees women and girls’
rights to live in domestic violence-free communities through self-empowerment, advocacy,
and an active social movement for change.
Through Kivulini’s (2013-2016) strategic plan our work is guided into five interrelated
programs that formed the bases of its interventions namely; i) community mobilization
(building a “critical mass” for change); ii) Legal Empowerment iii)capacity building
strengthening of law enforcers and other service providers to prevent and/or respond to
violence; iv) policy advocacy to incorporate gender based violence at local and national
government policies, plans and budgets and v) Governance & Accountability.
Community mobilization: At a community level, Kivulini uses the SASA! Innovative
approaches from Raising Voices to foster a climate of non-tolerance of violence by
reducing the acceptability of violence against women and inspiring and motivating
individuals sense of activism and responsibility to act to prevent it. Other interventions
include campaign activities such as “We can campaign” that focus on reducing social
acceptance of violence against women by engaging ordinary women, men and youth to act
as change makers who actively oppose violence against women and In addition through
youth engagement program, Kivulini focused on empowering young people to take a lead on
domestic and sexual violence prevention effort using Solution Focused approach (SFA).
These discussions/activities have resulted in creating empowered CRITICAL MASS of
community members who take a public stand to end violence against women and girls,
as well as to support victims.
Within capacity building program, the focus was on strengthening key actors knowledge and
skills needed to prevent and respond to violence against women and girls (VAWG) at local
and National levels.
Within the policy and advocacy programs Kivulini focused on influencing decision makers to
make institutional change ( i.e. enacting and or adopting by-laws, plans, allocation of
budgets, developing policies) to prevent VAWG and respond to the needs of women and
girls survivors of violence.
Following the implementation of these programs in 2013, Kivulini has remained to stands
out as a leading example of an organization that is using multi-sectorial approach to
address violence against women and girls (VAWG) in the lake zone regions (Mara, Shinyanga,
