The overall goal of the Training and Development component of POWA’s work is to build capacity – internally and externally – to strengthen GBV interventions that are women-centred and rights-based, ensuring our interventions respond to the intersections between GBV, HIV and poverty. Working closely with all programmes and services of POWA, the department’s strategy centres on building individual, organisational and community capacity to respond to and prevent violence against women. Activities which focus on improving services for women survivors as well as activities which aim at women’s leadership and transformation are undertaken. POWA’s training and learning programmes range from one day workshops through to year-long multi-model strengthening capacity programmes.
