Cloned Findings Page

In the project’s first three years, The Empowered Aid team worked with women and girls to uncover the risks they face when interacting with aid distributions and formulate a list of recommendations to create safer aid distributions. 

The findings are broken down by the types of aid we explored “Food, WASH, Shelter, Cash (Lebanon), and Fuel & Firewood (Uganda) in each country and the points in the distribution process where women and girls described facing potential SEA and/or GBV risk (information/communication, registration & verification, at the distribution, traveling to and from the distribution, when storing aid).

After analyzing the data collected, the research team presented the findings and recommendations to the women and girls. The women and girls voted on each of the recommendations to place them in order of importance.

They called on aid agencies, government, donors, and other humanitarian actors to put a number of these recommendations in place to make aid distributions safer.
