This report presents findings from a scoping study of policy, practice and evidence on school-related
gender-based violence (SRGBV) in Zambia, which was carried out in 2016. The main objective of the
study was to analyse responses to gender-based violence in and around schools in Zambia, in order to
inform future planning of policy and practice initiatives. The study was a collaboration between the
government of Zambia, UNICEF, and researchers at the UCL Institute of Education working alongside
consultant, Romana Maumbu. Its core elements consist of: analysis of legislation and policy; analysis
of programming on SRGBV; mapping of stakeholders working on SRGBV; and the identification and
evaluation of research and data sets. The findings presented here will be used to guide decision
making for phase two of the initiative which will take place during 2017, as well as longer term
planning and action on SRGBV in Zambia. The findings will provide the basis for reflection and the
development of the action plan for the next phase of the EGVS initiative
