Facilitating Access to GBV Services in Tigray: Service Mapping and Findings
This project in Tigray aims to enhance access to Gender-Based Violence (GBV) response services by mapping existing services, identifying gaps, and recommending improvements. With a focus on health, psychosocial, legal, and safety services, the initiative targets specific zones within the region. The outcomes include insights into service coverage, capacities of providers, and recommendations for scaling up services. Findings reveal challenges in service functionality, limited coverage, and gaps in referral mechanisms across the region. Capacity building and coordination efforts are needed to improve the quality and availability of GBV services in Tigray.
