Tackling Violence against Women: From Knowledge to Practical

38 21 See: for small arms and disarmament, Morel (2006); OECD (2009); for security
sector reform, OECD (2007); for VAw, Ellsberg and Heise (2005); for rural development,
US Department of Agriculture (2010); for public health, Hawe et al. (2004);
for humanitarian relief, Relief web (n.d.); and for state and peace building, OECD
(2006; 2010). It would also be useful for this toolkit to integrate the findings of
Slotin, wyeth, and Romita’s (2010) study of how international actors grapple with
local context and power dynamics in partner countries.
22 Several training manuals for RRA are available online. See, for example, wageningen
International (n.d.); Schoonmaker Freudenberger (1999); Bartle (2007).
23 The equivalent of pSA in humanitarian work is often referred to as participatory
vulnerability analysis.
24 For examples of participatory approaches in the context of mapping out violence,
see Banerjee and Muggah (2002); Baeanisia et al. (2005).
25 Relevant manuals are also numerous; some good places to start include world
Bank (1996), Mayoux (2001), and IDS (n.d.).
26 Another example comes from the implementation manual for the Stepping Stones
programme, which includes a discussion of why the programme will have to be
adapted to different national and local cultures and situations, and suggestions
on how to make adaptations (ACORD, 2007).
27 See Ellsberg and Heise (2005); Ellsberg et al. (2009); AusAID (2007; 2008).
28 See AusAID (2007; 2008).
29 See Dullea (2006) and, for a more nuanced position, largely supportive of the
argument here, Chambers and Mayoux (2003); kwan (2002).
30 In UN work on the area, it was recently noted that one of the reasons why it was so
difficult to identify best practices is due to ‘the lack of sustained resources committed
to this work, and especially to evaluating different initiatives’ (UN, 2007, p. 101).
31 Evaluations from a justice or services perspective have mostly focused on individual
projects and programmes in specific countries, e.g. Ford et al. (2002); Hester and
westmarland (2005); European Commission (2005). For health perspective reviews,
see Bott, Morrison, and Ellsberg (2004); UNgA (2006a); AusAID (2007); Colombini,
Mayhew, and watts (2008); wHO (2009); gSDRC (2009); Violence prevention (n.d.).
