In 2020, UNFPA conducted the 4th regional external assessment of the agency’s programming in the Syria regional response, commissioned by UNFPA Regional Syria Response Hub.
The overall aim of the 2020 impact assessment is to examine if the services provided at UNFPA-supported delivery points (health facilities, women and girls’ safe spaces, outreach points, and youth centres) are achieving the intended objectives. This includes assessment and review to measure, primarily: (a) whether UNFPA-supported services have contributed to improved physical and psychosocial wellbeing of those in need of gender-based violence (GBV) prevention and response services and those in need of sexual and reproductive health (SHR) services; and (b) whether UNFPA-supported services have increased availability, accessibility, and acceptability of quality GBV and SRH services.
This fact sheet provides a concise snapshot of the main findings, achievements, and recommendations that emerged from the assessment process.
