Responding to increased GBV risks and the needs of mainly women and girls who are food insecure in drought-affected areas (22-RR-FPA-024)

Project overview

This $600,000 UNFPA project aimed to mitigate gender-based violence and strengthened GBV service delivery in Oromia and Somali regions. To that end, UNFPA distributed menstrual hygiene management kits and/or dignity kits to 14,000 Ethiopians and deployed GBV experts and volunteers to provide psychosocial support services (including case management) to assist 10,604 Ethiopians. In total, UNFPA reached 24,678 people, including 10,235 women and 13,671 girls. Among the total number of affected people, 3,701 people with disabilities were reached.
