Context
The Jasiri program builds on the achievements of a pilot program implemented by the consortium during the COVID Pandemic to address the high incidences of gender-based violence. The program seeks to deepen support to most at-risk girls and young women who are survivors of gender-based violence in 16 counties in Kenya that are recording high prevalence rates of Gender Based Violence. The Jasiri Program will expand its scope to address GBV and the heavy load of unpaid care and domestic work as an emerging gender barrier that disproportionately affects adolescent girls and young women living in rural areas and urban informal settlements.
This program will address the following systemic and structural barriers:
Limited access to gender-responsive financial resources and skilling would reduce entrepreneurship and employment opportunities for adolescent girls and young women who are GBV survivors or at risk of GBV.
Limited capacity and resources among national and sub-national (county) governments and GBV service providers to effectively respond to GBV and unpaid care work faced by adolescent girls and young women.
Social norms and harmful cultural beliefs, attitudes and practices expose AGYW to abuse and discrimination and prevent them from meaningfully participating in the world of work.
The program's broad interventions are:
Engage financial services providers and State department of gender to build up responsive and inclusive financial services that cater to the full range needs of young women especially gender-based violence survivors.
Support and collaborate with community skilling partners to provide skilling opportunities (life skills, entrepreneurship) to GBV survivors and most at-risk Adolescent Girls and Young women (AGYW) as a pathway to work
Collaborate with national and county governments and to address unpaid care and domestic work through policy, practice, and budget reforms.
Engage community leaders and gatekeepers (including men, boys, and cultural and religious leaders) in shifting perceptions, attitudes, and beliefs that perpetuate gender inequalities e.g GBV and the heavy load of unpaid care work.
Enhance capacity and resilience GBV service providers including Safe shelter actors to provide timely, safe, and confidential services to support the short- and long-term healing and empowerment of GBV survivors.
Enhance capacity of National and county governments (e.g., sensitization on how to domesticate national GBV policies and SOPs) to implement laws and policies that prevent and respond to GBV.
Some of the expected program outcomes will include:
Increased utilisation and uptake of gender responsive and inclusive financial services/products by young women and young women owned MSME's.
Enhanced resilience of GBV survivors and most at-risk adolescent girls and young women in entrepreneurship and in the world of work.
More time and agency for adolescent girls and young women to participate in economic opportunities.
