GBVF Maturity Journey

Self-improvement journey on organisational readiness to respond to GBVF

Take part in the Pilot 30-Day Organisational GBVF Maturity Challenge

Thank you for your interest in the first ever 30-Day GBVF Maturity Challenge. We look forward to you taking this journey to make a big difference in the way in which GBVF is prioritised on an organisational level and to develop with you a process that could help other organisations.

Please take some time to read more about this challenge below and how to apply.

Purpose

Rapidly improve the GBVF Maturity index of an organisation or collaborative group, by focusing on one behaviour, practice, or policy that is prioritised based on the Ending GBVF Health Check survey results.

The programme aims to support senior leaders in identifying gaps in their organisation’s GBVF maturity and working with a team to improve that area over a short period of time.

To do this, two senior leaders in the organisation will use a step-by-step process to guide them weekly over 10 weeks, from receiving the survey results to making an initial improvement in the index and setting the stage for additional improvements.

Organisations participating in the 10-week programme will be grouped into cohorts of 4-6 members, which will work in full visibility of each other to facilitate peer learning and support. 

The programme consists of 3 phases:

1. Reflection, Design, and Mobilisation for the Challenge (3 weeks)

  • The organisation’s leaders will use their GBVF Health check maturity report to reflect on and prioritise gaps in policies or behaviours that they would like to focus on. They will decide on sequencing these and the timing to address them.. 
  • The leaders will pick 4-10 people to work on the initial priorities. 
  • They will recruit this team and challenge them to shape and implement a 30-day project to close the priority gap(s).

2. Implementation of the Challenge (4 weeks)

  • The  team will have a “Lift-Off Workshop”  to set their goal and develop their plan of action
  •  The team will meet once a week to check progress towards the goal and adjust their plan as necessary.  
  • At the end of the 30-day implementation period, the team will have a “landing work session” to celebrate their achievements, share their insights with the organisational leaders, and together with the leaders, to set the stage for the next 30-Day GBVF maturity Challenge in the organisation. 

3. Design of the Next 30-Day Challenge(s) (3 weeks)

The leadership group, building on the recommendations discussed at the Landing Workshop, will decide on a focus for the next 30-Day Challenge, and mobilise a team to take this on.

This focus could be on:

  • Extending the mandate of the previous 30-Day team so they continue to work on implementing their plans. 
  • Sustaining the gains made during the first 30-Day Challenge.
  • Taking on another priority behaviour or policy gap identified in the Health Check..

Depending on the ambition of leaders and the capacity of the organisation, multiple focus areas (requiring multiple teams) could be formed simultaneously.     

Based on this, the leadership group will mobilise the proper team(s) and challenge them to shape and implement a 30-day project aimed at making progress in the prioritised gaps.

The program will get underway the first week of August. To be eligible for the program, the organisation needs to have at least ten staff members, and it needs to meet one of the following criteria: 

  • Registered for the GBVF Health Check and participated in the survey.
  • Participate in the End GBVF Collective or join the community Whatsapp group before the programme starts (Whatsapp link)
  • A senior leaders must volunteer or get selected to convene and facilitate the Maturity challenge and follow the step-by-step guide on the online learning platform.
