National Inclusive Safer Schools Programme

National Inclusive and Safer School partnership (NISSP) of the Department of Basic Education is a joint national partnership to promote the collective action of the whole-of-school community to prevent violence and gender-based violence (GBV) occurring in South African schools.

The NISSP aims to do this by coordinating, co-resourcing and jointly implementing school-based gender based violence prevention programmes that will empower the role of District Officials, Civil Society Organisations, Educators and learner-leaders across four provinces.

The intervention is supported by the German Development Cooperation and Global Affairs Canada through GIZ Inclusive Violence and Crime Prevention (VCP) Programme, Masifunde Learner Development, Agape Youth Movement (AYM), various stakeholders from academia, civil society, and government departments.
