About MICGBV

Guiding Framework

Vision, Mission & Theory of Change

Our Vision

A Malawi that is safe, inclusive, and free from gender-based violence, where all individuals enjoy equal rights and human dignity.

Our Mission

We advocate, promote evidence-based learning, and strengthen collaboration to systematically prevent and respond to GBV across Malawi.

Theory of Change

If the MICGBV advocates collectively, amplifies evidence-based learning, and strengthens collaboration among power holders and GBV practitioners, then policies, services, and budgets will better respond to the GBV-related needs of adolescents and GBV survivors.

Strategic Priorities

What We Do

Our multi-sectoral strategy rests on three pillars designed to deliver sustainable impact across Malawi.

Advocacy

Advocate at national level for improved access to quality GBV services for all, especially for adolescents and young people.
