Consultancy to Determine Economic Burden of Gender Based Violence (GBV) to Survivors in Kenya

Background: The GoK- UN Joint Programme on Gender Equality and Women’s Empowerment, in partnership with the National Gender and Equality Commission, intends to conduct a costing exercise to determine the economic cost of gender based violence to survivors. 

This will complement an ongoing costing exercise which centres on the economic cost of GBV to the state. The findings from the studies will be used to conduct advocacy and lobbying for enhanced planning and resource allocation for multi-sectoral, survivor-centred GBV response services.

The study will focus on violence experienced at family, relationship, community and society levels, estimating costs incurred when women suffer different types and forms of GBV. Calculations will be done based on direct monetary costs as well as social costs.
