According to bank documents, the Project Objective is to promote women’s and community resilience to GBV in Djibouti City and Balbala through: (i) GBV community-based prevention programs including skills development and livelihoods support for at-risk young women and girls; (ii) community awareness and mobilization; and (iii) capacity-building to improve the quality of psychosocial and counseling services utilized by GBV survivors.
The project has three components:
Component 1: Livelihoods support for at-risk adolescent girls and young women who dropped out of school (approx. US$ 1,649,000) The objective of this component is to provide skills development and livelihoods support to at least 1,000 atrisk adolescent girls and young women through two sub-components: (i) life skills, technical and vocational training; (ii) and support for income generating activities. Beneficiaries are women or girls who dropped out of school, and integrated the Center for Social Action and Women Empowerment (Centre d'action sociale pour l'autonomisation des femmes - CASAF) managed by the MWF in Balbala, or the Second Chance School (Ecole de la Seconde Chance) managed by the UNFD in Djibouti-City. Both schools target young girls and women who have dropped out of school, have left their families, or come from families below the poverty level.
Sub-component 1.1.: Life skills, technical and vocational trainings to increase employability and business skills
Sub-component 1.2.: Support for income generating activities and micro-entrepreneurship
Component 2: Community-based interventions and capacity-building for GBV prevention and response (US$ 692,000) This component aims at supporting community-based interventions and capacity building for GBV prevention and response through the following two sub-components: (i) fostering community behavioral change and mobilization; and (ii) technical support to provide psychosocial and counseling services. Households and communities targeted under Component 2 will be those of the beneficiaries selected under Component 1. The community-based interventions and capacity building activities (Component 2) will be simultaneously implemented with livelihoods support (Component 1) to maximize positive results as both will jointly contribute to an enabling environment for at-risk populations participation in the local economy, including by mitigating risks of economic violence, one of the manifestations of intimate partner violence. Sub-component 2.1.: Fostering community behavioral change and mobilization
Sub-component 2.2. Technical support for providing psychosocial and counseling services
