This report summarizes the results of an evaluation of the Zero Tolerance School Alliance project in South Africa. The findings suggest that the Zero Tolerance School Alliance is a promising intervention engendering prevention of certain aspects of SRGBV in as little as a year. Along with several encouraging findings, this study reveals remaining gaps and areas that require strengthening if SRGBV is to be more comprehensively and effectively addressed. The study results suggest that a more balanced focus on both boys and girls (rather than girls, primarily) will help produce equally positive results for boys.
