Hagar International implemented the three-year project “Building capacity of duty bearers and beneficiaries to improve access to services for women and children survivors of intimate partner violence and non-partner sexual violence and change community’s attitude and behaviour towards violence against women” in Nghe An and Yen Bai provinces in Viet Nam with the support of the UN Trust Fund from 2019 to 2022. The project aimed to address violence against women and children in four communes by improving access to services for survivors, enhancing multi-sectoral coordination of services, and changing community members’ attitudes and behaviour towards gender-based violence. The final evaluation revealed that the project substantially contributed to reducing rates of violence against women and children, improved survivors’ ability to identify and respond to violence, and strengthened the capacity of officials, village leaders and women’s union members to provide emergency support and referral services.

The project Uruguay Unites to End Violence Against Women, Girls and Adolescents was implemented by the UN Country Team from January 2012 to December 2014 and received a three-year grant from the UN Trust Fund to End Violence against Women. The final evaluation found that the project made important progress and that the participation of multiple stakeholders from civil society, the Uruguay Government and the UN system was new and bold.
