Gender Equality & Social Inclusion: Reporting on Sexual & GenderBased Violence

January 2021

SHINE Supply (2018-2021) is a component of the Somalia Health & Nutrition (SHINE) programme, funded by UK aid from the UK government. SHINE aims to reduce mother and child deaths in Somalia and Somaliland by improving health and nutrition services.

SHINE Supply is a component of the UK aid-funded Somalia Health & Nutrition (SHINE) programme. SHINE aims to reduce mother and child deaths in Somalia and Somaliland by improving health and nutrition services. SHINE Supply is being implemented in four regions, namely Galgadud and Banadir Regions in Somalia, and Awdal and Togdheer Regions in Somaliland. Gender Equality and Social Inclusion (GESI) is a cross-cutting component of all SHINE Supply activities.

The issue SHINE Supply has been tracking health facility reports on sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV) since 2019. From the monthly facility reports, we have observed sporadic reporting on this theme, with some health facilities exhibiting unusually high numbers compared to others. In December 2020, the SHINE Supply Team initiated a small operational study to better understand the differences in SGBV reporting across the programme.

Methodology for investigation The study covered 12 districts and 18 health facilities across the four SHINE Supply implementation areas. The 18 health facilities were purposefully sampled based on consistently high SGBV recording in monthly reports. With technical support from the Monitoring and Evaluation Lead, SHINE Supply’s Implementing Partners visited the selected facilities to verify reports against primary records for a six-month timeframe May-Oct 2020. They also conducted interviews with facility staff to interrogate the data. All findings (quantitative and qualitative) were captured in standardised data entry templates.
