Development Objective

The Project Development Objective is to improve (i) girls and women’s access to skills development and livelihoods support; (ii) community awareness and mobilization in the fight against GBV in targeted areas; and (iii) the quality of psychosocial counseling services utilized by GBV survivors. To achieve its objective, the project will pilot locally based interventions that impact GBV risk factors by combining both: (i) prevention measures for at-risk populations through the provision of soft skills, technical and business development trainings, start-up support consisting of grants for income-generating activities, and post-grant follow-up and mentorship; and (ii) community-base prevention and response measures through community mobilization for behavioral change, and capacity-building to improve the quality of psychosocial counselling services. It is expected that project beneficiaries, including at-risk and survivors of GBV, their households and community members in impoverished districts of Balbala and Boulaos will benefit from the project's livelihoods support activities as they will lead to an increased participation of vulnerable women in the local economy, combined with GBV prevention and response interventions that will contribute to an enabling environment for women's participation and empowerment.
