The problem
Intervention: Participatory ranking methodology (PRM) group discussions to understand local constructions of GBV and identify community-perceived root causes to inform prevention programming
Who it was tested with: 64 groups of women, men, girls (aged 14-18), and boys (aged 14-18) in four IDP camps in Lira District, northern Uganda.
Experience from people who deliver programmes: stories, case studies and lessons learned. Valuable for understanding how and why, and for spotting what to test next, but not a measure of effect.
"Sixty-four PRM group discussions were held with women, with men, with girls (aged 14 to 18 years), and with boys (aged 14 to 18 years) selected on a randomized basis across four internally displaced persons (IDP) camps in Lira District. Discussions elicited problems facing women in the camps, and - through structured participatory methods - consensus ranking of their importance and narrative accounts explaining these judgments." The study used systematic participatory methods to gather structured local perceptions of GBV as formative work to understand community priorities and root causes for eventual intervention design.
This is formative qualitative research designed to understand perceptions and inform future research, not to evaluate the effectiveness of an intervention. Secondary analysis of archived data limits ability to clarify methods or explore findings in depth.
