This report is based on a review of project documentation from RESPOND programs in Angola Burundi Cote d’Ivoire Guinea Namibia and South Africa and on interviews with selected key informants on the work in each country. The countries were selected because RESPOND carried out specific gender programming there usually with field support from USAID missions. A list of published RESPOND tools (with URLs) is provided as Appendix 1. (Excerpt)
