Deliverables are negotiable, and will seek to align the needs of the learners and the organization. These will be adjusted after matching and tailored to meet the course schedule and needs of your organization.
Some final project deliverables might include:

- A detailed report including their research, analysis, insights and recommendations

Project activities that learners can complete may include, but are not limited to:
- In-depth literature reviews on gender-based violence, including factors affecting these crimes and policy recommendations
- Basic data analysis and transcription
