Through the project, Help Age International provided key recommendations for integrating the needs of older women survivors into the National Strategy on preventing and combating violence against women and violence in the family for 2018-2023 and its Implementation Plan for 2018-2020. In addition, 359 members of 32 district multidisciplinary teams and 26 representatives of Centres for Assistance and Protection received training on preventing, identifying and addressing violence against older women, exceeding targets. An evaluation of the project found that it exceeded its target by nearly threefold, reaching 512 women survivors of violence through individual and group counselling, as well as through diverse outreach activities. In addition, 2,510 older women at risk of violence benefited from different outreach activities and 12,033 women in eight communities benefited from its awareness raising campaigns. The feedback from people who participated in the evaluation process indicated that the project was and remains “highly relevant” and “extremely needed for older women at risk of violence and survivors”.

The UN Trust Fund took specific steps to ensure that organizations were strengthened and supported during the COVID-19 pandemic. Feedback from Civil Society and Women’s Rights Organizations (CSOs/WROs) in 2020 and 2021 showed that many were concerned about survival of the women and girls they serve, while ensuring their organizational existence. In response to needs voiced by CSO/WRO partners, the UN Trust Fund organized a series of webinars and training. Training covered areas such as project modification (96 per cent of attendees rated this as useful or very useful); cash-based interventions (80 per cent of attendees rated this as useful or very useful); and procurement and recommended procedures (94 per cent of attendees rated this as useful or very useful). In a post training survey, all respondents indicated that the knowledge and skills gained from the training will be useful for them even beyond the management and implementation of the current project. In general, organizational capacity development activities reached more than 1,100 grantee participants in 2020. Grantees were also provided with training on effective management of projects, preventing sexual exploitation and abuse, as well as ethics and safety.
