Pilot Programs
From these activities, data was collected on the challenges and barriers preventing survivors from accessing specialized Gender Based Violence (GBV) services in the Democratic Republic of Congo (Bukavu), Iraqi Kurdistan (Erbil) and Iraq (Mosul), and South Sudan (Yei County). Data was also collected on the recommendations for facilitating survivors’ access to GBV-specialized services. This data is the foundation of the program models that were developed and are currently being piloted during Phase II of the project.
