As part of activities on the RaVASH Project (funded by AU-EU Youth Voices Lab - Power of the Collective), EWEF conducted a Monitoring, Evaluation, and Learning (MEL) visit across the three participating senior high schools (KOSS, St. Mary's Girls SHS and Konongo Wesley High School) to assess implementation progress, monitor the effectiveness of the peer education model, and identify areas requiring additional support. The team engaged school authorities, guidance and counseling coordinators, focal persons, trained peer educators, and selected students to gather feedback on project implementation.
The monitoring revealed encouraging progress;
1. Trained peer educators continue to conduct regular awareness sessions within their schools and have reached more than 796 fellow students through peer-to-peer engagements.
2. School focal persons also observed increased awareness among both students and teachers, resulting in greater caution regarding behaviors that could constitute sexual harassment.
3. Importantly, five (5) cases of sexual harassment had been reported through the established support systems and were receiving appropriate follow-up. Although the cases remain under resolution, their reporting demonstrates growing confidence in the reporting mechanisms established through the project and increasing trust in school-based support systems.
