Main findings of the evaluation:
- Asuda’s innovative strategy was successful and could be used as a model for other projects in a similar cultural and humanitarian context.
- Asuda produced and disseminated two reports on sexual and gender-based violence against Syrian refugees to 500 international NGOs, stakeholders and other actors in the humanitarian community in Kurdistan region, where data collection on this issue had previously been difficult.
- The project reached 1,298 beneficiaries.
