Focused on community dialogues to raise awareness and change in attitudes, the programme, Increasing Access to Gender Based Violence (GBV) Response Services – Phase 2 funds UNFPA’s health sector response to GBV, which has been supported by DFID in six provinces (Daikundi, Farah, Jawzjan, Laghman, Kapisa and Parwan) since 2016. IELP recently conducted a successful mid-term review which provided recommendations to Ministry of Public Health on key considerations to be kept in mind for integrating the programme into the government’s own systems.
As an implementation partner, we supported robust policy and programmatic decisions towards realising the medium-term goal of integrating GBV response into the government health service.
