Summary
The initiative proposed by UNFPA aims to improve the use of SRH, FP and GBV services by women and girls aged 15 to 49 in the targeted areas. To do this, the project will improve the gender literacy of men, women, leaders and youth through campaigns promoting gender equality and positive masculinity clubs. The project also plans to improve the life skills of women and girls through empowerment programs and training to detect the signs of obstetric emergencies. UNFPA will also work to improve the technical and operational skills of health facilities so that they are able to offer integrated SRH, FP and GBV services.
In order to better protect women and girls in the project's communities of intervention, the technical and operational capacities of public structures for the registration and issuance of civil status documents will be improved and the populations will be made aware of the systematic registration of civil status events, particularly births. To prevent and better respond to GBV, UNFPA will work with community-based health providers and health workers to improve their skills in holistic survivor care while strengthening their referral and reporting capacities.
Finally, through the development of "green" initiatives such as the manufacture of household items from plastic waste, the provision of improved stoves, training in soilless cultivation, the awareness of IDPs and host communities, and the implementation of cultural activities or joint projects such as the development of the community environment, the project will contribute to improving the culture of peace. solidarity and peaceful resolution of community conflicts. Agents of the defence and security forces in the project's area of intervention will also be trained on human rights and gender.

Description (French)
L’initiative proposée par FNUAP vise à améliorer l’utilisation des services de SSR, PF et prise en charge des VBG par les femmes et jeunes filles de 15 à 49 ans des zones ciblées. Pour se faire, le projet améliorera les connaissances en la matière des hommes, des femmes, des leaders et des jeunes à travers des campagnes promouvant des relations équitables entre les genres et des clubs de masculinité positive. Le projet prévoit aussi améliorer les compétences de vie des femmes et filles grâce à des programmes d’autonomisation et de la formation pour détecter les signes d’urgences obstétricales. Le FNUAP travaillera également à améliorer les compétences techniques et opérationnelles des structures de santé afin qu’elles soient en mesure d’offrir les services intégrés en SSR, PF et prise en charge des VBG.
Dans le but de mieux protéger les femmes et les filles dans les communautés d’intervention du projet, les capacités techniques et opérationnelles des structures publiques pour l’enregistrement et la délivrance des documents d’état civil seront améliorées et les populations sensibilisées à l’enregistrement systématique des événements relatifs à l’état civil, particulièrement les naissances. Afin de prévenir les VBG et mieux y répondre, le FNUAP travaillera avec les prestataires de soins et les agents de santé à base communautaire pour améliorer leurs compétences en matière de prise en charge holistique des survivantes tout en renforçant leurs capacités en matière de référencement et rapportage.
Enfin, à travers le développement d’initiatives « vertes » comme la confection d’articles ménagers à base de déchets de plastiques, la dotation de foyers améliorés, la formation à la culture hors-sol, la sensibilisation des PDI et des communautés hôtes, et la réalisation d’activités culturelles ou projets communs tel que l’aménagement de l’environnement communautaire, le projet contribuera à améliorer la culture de paix, de solidarité et de résolution pacifique des conflits communautaires. Les agents des forces de défense et de sécurité de la zone d’intervention du projet seront aussi formés sur les droits humain et le genre.
