Survey respondents' interest in science based targets

Gender Based Violence and Femicide Response Fund (GBVF)

The Gender Based Violence and Femicide Response Fund (GBVF) is a private sector-led initiative in South Africa aimed at combating gender-based violence and femicide. It focuses on funding community-based organisations (CBOs) and supporting various programmes to address GBVF issues. PwC contributes to this effort by providing pro-bono professional services and aiding in the Fund's distribution, thus strengthening the GBVF's impact and effectiveness in tackling this critical social challenge.

We also provide professional support to ensure that the Fund's operations run smoothly and that information is readily available to stakeholders—simplifying and allowing for fast and accurate decision making. 

Our support is rendered together with that of other corporate role players in South Africa. The collaboration between corporate South Africa has allowed the GBVF to execute its purpose.
