Director’s Update: July 2018
In July, we were re-framing beauty and rethinking what “beautiful” means through preparing for Miss Lebanon 2018 beauty pageants training. In parallel to this:
We organized:
- A one week training under “Building GBV Research Capacity in Humanitarian Settings” project in collaboration with the Global Women’s Institute (GWI) at the George Washington University. GWI has selected two pilot countries that have some of the highest refugee burdens in the world- Uganda and Lebanon. Humanitarian actors and researchers based in these two countries were supported as they used the materials (the Research, Monitoring and Evaluation Manual and Toolkit) previously developed by GWI, in combination with “homegrown” materials developed nationally, to develop and engage with their own research, monitoring and evaluation projects.
