Supporting Response - Recovery - Resilience (3R) for conflict-affected communities

active

The aim of the FC project is to improve access to cross-sectoral support services for survivors of violence against women in conflict-affected communities in Ethiopia. The psychosocial services are offered in health stations, hospitals and so-called one-stop centers. As part of the 3R-4-CACE project, the employees of these facilities are trained so that both the quantity and quality of psychosocial services are improved. Highly traumatized people are treated with Narrative Exposure Therapy. This special therapy was developed for this group of people and successfully tested in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Implementation is carried out by the Ethiopian government, which contracts some specialized providers for this purpose. In addition, the government has contracted UNICEF as a consultant for the development of a nationwide service structure for psychosocial services. In the security-critical woredas - currently only in Tigray - UN organizations are responsible for implementation, UNOPS the infrastructure component and UNFPA the psychosocial services.
