This report presents the independent Mid Term Evaluation (MTE) of the House of Sarah (HOS) Preventing Violence Against Women in Fiji’s Faith Settings (PAWFFS) project (also referred to in this report as ‘the project’). The PVAWFFS project is funded by the Fiji Women’s Fund (the Fund) and UN Women. The MTE was conducted between September- October 2020 by Fiji based development consultants, Iris Low and Leaine Robinson.
The project commenced in 2018 in three Anglican Parishes: 1) St Michael and All Angels Parish in Matata, Lami; 2) St Mark Parish in Newtown; and 3) St John the Baptist Parish at Wailoku. The PVAWFFS project utilises SASA!, an activist prevention model for preventing Violence Against Women (VAW) developed by Raising Voices, Uganda and Trocaire, Ireland, specifically the SASA! Faith model which takes the structure, process, and content of SASA! and adapts it for use by religious communities.
