The initiative proposed by UNFPA aims to improve the use of SRH, FP and GBV services by women and girls aged 15 to 49 in the targeted areas. To do this, the project will improve the gender literacy of men, women, leaders and youth through campaigns promoting gender equality and positive masculinity clubs. The project also plans to improve the life skills of women and girls through empowerment programs and training to detect the signs of obstetric emergencies. UNFPA will also work to improve the technical and operational skills of health facilities so that they are able to offer integrated SRH, FP and GBV services.
In order to better protect women and girls in the project's communities of intervention, the technical and operational capacities of public structures for the registration and issuance of civil status documents will be improved and the populations will be made aware of the systematic registration of civil status events, particularly births. To prevent and better respond to GBV, UNFPA will work with community-based health providers and health workers to improve their skills in holistic survivor care while strengthening their referral and reporting capacities.
Finally, through the development of "green" initiatives such as the manufacture of household items from plastic waste, the provision of improved stoves, training in soilless cultivation, the awareness of IDPs and host communities, and the implementation of cultural activities or joint projects such as the development of the community environment, the project will contribute to improving the culture of peace. solidarity and peaceful resolution of community conflicts. Agents of the defence and security forces in the project's area of intervention will also be trained on human rights and gender.
