Grants and Contributions

Given the increased risk of violence for displaced women and girls, the project is focusing on enhancing the capacity of local health facilities to treat acute malnutrition, respond to sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV), and provide sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) services.

Project activities include: (1) providing comprehensive medical care to survivors of sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV); (2) providing mental health care for survivors of violence; (3) providing training to health workers on mental health, psychological first aid and SGBV; and (4) increasing awareness on mental health and prevention, treatment and response to SGBV issues within vulnerable communities and relevant organizations/institutions.

Canadian funding aims to support the following MPTF thematic programming priorities: (1) Stabilization: strengthening state presence and capacity in municipalities most impacted by the conflict, with the objective of bringing the state to areas where it has been historically absent, reducing inequalities and strengthening security; (2) Victims and Transitional Justice: providing support to authorities in providing collective reparation for victims, by increasing knowledge and capacities to address the differential impacts that the conflict has had on victims due to gender, age, and ethnicity; and (3) Communications: effectively communicate, on a continual basis, on the advances made in implementation of the agreement in order to counter destabilizing messages and promote a culture of peace and reconciliation.

Project activities include: (1) providing sexual and reproductive health services to approximately 2,000 vulnerable women and adolescent girls; (2) providing medical, mental health and psychosocial counselling to approximately 5,000 people affected by the crisis; (3) training health personnel on health care for the migrant population; and (4) training community organizations and Venezuelan associations on the right to health, gender equality, prevention of violence and sexual exploitation.
