This project funds activities to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic in Mozambique. Project activities include: (1) raising awareness on good practices to prevent the spread of COVID-19 by translating material into Portuguese and disseminating it via community radio, television and social media; (2) orienting community health workers on the implications of the COVID-19 pandemic for women and girls; (3) supporting local health facilities by providing protective equipment to contain the spread of COVID-19; and (4) helping vulnerable girls and women and their families meet their essential needs, such as covering transportation cost to health clinics.

The expected outcomes for this project include: (1) improved effectiveness of government protection institutions to deliver gender-responsive sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV) services for girls and young women; (2) enhanced agency and decision-making by girls and young women to protect themselves from SGBV and be active change agents; and (3) enhanced community and support systems that advance gender equality for girls and young women by strengthening their agency, rights and protection from SGBV and gender discrimination.
