Overview Narrative

This activity provides a community-based intervention that combines group-based microfinance with a 12-15 months gender and HIV training curriculum known as Sisters for Life (SFL). The program has a partnership with an established microfinance provider, Small Enterprise Foundation (SEF). The project target both young and older women and focuses on addressing poverty, gender inequality, intimate partner violence and HIV risk through a sustainable process of economic development and social education and mobilization. Through this activity the economic well-being and independence of communities is improved, their vulnerability to both HIV and gender-based violence is reduced, and robust community mobilization to address common concerns is fostered.
There is evidence that there is impact on IMAGE participants on poverty as there is increased household expenditure and assets, and increased membership in savings groups; women’s empowerment - 55% reduction in risk of physical or sexual violence from an intimate partner. The activity also contributes on improvement in 9 indicators of women’s empowerment including self - confidence, challenging gender norms, autonomy in decision-making, and collective action; and HIV risk among young women participants, greater HIV communication with partners, accessing of VCT services, and greater condom use.
The IMAGE project have valuable lessons to impart to other partners, i.e women’s empowerment is “more than just money” and then Microfinance (without training) did NOT lead to broader social & health benefits. It is of importance to hold group education, tackle cultural beliefs & participate in mobilizing communities to stand up for their right and do the right thing as far as justice for women and children is concerned.
