Promoting Access to Multi-Sectoral  Prevention and Response to protection Services for Women and Girls in Yobe State. ltpgtThe proposed 12 months integrated Gender based Violence (GBV), Mine Action (MA) and Child Protection multi sectorial project, falling under Envelope 2 will be implemented in 3 LGAs (Fune, Potaskum and Gujba LGA) of Yobe State. The intervention aims to support 22,500 direct beneficiaries, with a particular focus on women and children constituting 70% of the overall project targets. Among these, 15% (5,600) will be People with Disabilities (PWD). Through this project, GSF will strive to protect women and children from negative cultural norms, and explosive ordinance risks, and enhance the institutional capacity of women-led organizations to support localization across the Local Government Areas (LGAs). ltbrgtThe project aims to decrease vulnerability to Gender-Based Violence, child abuse, and explosive ordinance risks for women and children. Innovative solutions involve the establishment of community-based women's clubs, adolescent corners, and children ambassadors. This is to foster participation and ownership of field-based activities through the support of field-based animators and case workers at the project location.ltbrgtThe project team will train school prefects and other adolescent children to raise awareness during school assemblies on GBV prevention, referral pathways, child safeguarding, prevention of sexual exploitation and abuse (PSEA), and explosive ordinance risks (EORE). Additionally, GSF will organize activities to commemorate special days such as International Women's Day, Children's Day, and the 16 Days of Activism through collaboration with the government and other humanitarian and development partners.ltbrgtGSF project team will actively engage and provide support to the state-level Gender-Based Violence (GBV), Child Protection (CP), and Mine Action Coordination Group. Additionally, the team will play a supportive role in strengthening the LGA based GBV, CP, and Mine Action Working Group in Fune and Gujbo LGAs. This is aim to contribute to improved coordination, collaboration, and effectiveness in addressing GBV, CP, and Mine Action at both the state and LGA levels.ltbrgtThe project will guarantee equitable access to Gender-Based Violence (GBV), Child Protection (CP), and Mine Action services for women and girls, including those with disabilities, through an inclusive approach. GSF will collaborate with other sectors, such as education, nutrition, food security, and early recovery  livelihood, to conduct training on the centrality of protection and cross-sectoral cooperation. This effort aims to establish a clear referral pathway for services at the LGA level.ltbrgtWe will conduct monthly awareness campaigns, engage communities, and offer Gender-Based Violence and Child Protection case management services, along with referrals through community-based case workers and government social workers at the project location. Additionally, the project will adopt an integrated approach by training personnel to identify GBV signs, establishing safe spaces, creating efficient referral mechanisms at the project locations and enhancing the capacity of case workers to provide comprehensive and sensitive support for both child and women survivors of GBV and exploitation. The activities include family tracing and reunification for Unaccompanied Children (UASC), GBV safety audits, awareness and sensitization sessions, and the development of an integrated Mine Action (MA), GBV, and CP referral pathway in Fune, Potaskum, and Gujba LGAs. In terms of information management, GSF will adopt the monthly 5Ws, GBVIMS, and CPIMS to record data and share it with sectors. Moreover, the project emphasizes enhancing the institutional capacity of women-led organizations by incorporating mentoring in financial management, resource mobilization, and Monitoring  Evaluation (ME) systems to strengthen their organizational capabilities. GSF Will conduct regular checks and hold reflection meetings with sub-implementing partners CPWEI and PLCI to build their capacities.ltbrgtlt/pgt
