P000735001: This project, in partnership with Tanzania's Ministry of Health, Community Development, Gender, Elderly and Children, and local government authorities, is supporting the achievement of results of the Government of Tanzania's National Road Map Strategic Plan to Accelerate the Reduction of Preventable Maternal, Newborn and Child Deaths in Tanzania (2016 – 2020); a sub-strategy of Tanzania's Fourth Health Sector Strategic Plan (HSSPIV).

Family planning is critical to advancing sexual and reproductive health and rights and gender equality. Among development actors, UNFPA Supplies is the largest provider of contraceptives in the world, and is pivotal to the achievement of the Family Planning 2020 (FP2020) goal of enabling 120 million more women and girls to have access to contraceptives by 2020.

The project supports the establishment of these three Centres of Excellence in Bolivia, Kenya and Togo for gender-integrated and rights-based youth-centred sexual and reproductive health (SRH) and Comprehensive Sexuality Education (CSE) programs for the Latin American, Anglophone and Francophone African regions.

The project enables the three International Planned Parenthood Federation (IPPF) Member Associations to: 1) improve access to comprehensive sexuality education programs and SRH services that are gender-integrated, rights-based and youth centred; 2) improve the quality of CSE programs so that they are rights-based and gender equality-focused including information on how to address harmful gender norms, providing tools for girls and young women to be empowered in their relationships; and reducing incidence of early marriage and pregnancy; and 3) develop the capacity of the IPPF Member Associations to support regional programming that is rights-based and youth-centred, as part of their capacity as a Center of Excellence.

Project activities include: (1) distributing material for transitional shelters and upgrades to existing shelters according to priorities identified by refugee households; (2) providing house-to-house technical assistance following the distribution of shelter materials; (3) providing gender sensitive semi-permanent shelters for particularly vulnerable households, such as women or child-headed households; and (4) providing solar lighting and other site improvements.

This project will implement and evaluate promising practices of Trauma Stewardship as a critical component of sexual violence and gender-based violence (GBV) work to improve service delivery for survivors of sexual violence, especially underserved populations such as Indigenous women and women in rural communities.

This project will adapt, test and evaluate a multi-agency risk management model for survivors. The Multi-Agency Risk Assessment Conference (MARAC) model has been tested and rolled out in more than 250 communities across the United Kingdom (UK) and will be adapted to ensure it meets the needs of diverse Canadian populations. Following testing and evaluation in an urban and rural or remote setting, a flexible and relevant blueprint of the model will be developed and disseminated across the country.
