Edmaaj conducted the final evaluation of the UNTF-funded project implemented by Collateral Repair Project (CRP) in Jordan, which aimed to protect vulnerable women and girls from domestic violence exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. The project sought to enhance economic and psychosocial empowerment, raise awareness on gender-based violence (GBV), and improve access to protection services through a dedicated help desk mechanism. It reached 3,473 women and girls as primary beneficiaries and 2,400 community members and CSOs as secondary beneficiaries.
The evaluation found that the project achieved notable progress in enhancing participants’ knowledge, confidence, emotional resilience, and employability. GBV awareness sessions led to stronger self-protection capacities among women and positive shifts in gender role perceptions, including increased male support for women’s participation in the workforce and shared household responsibilities.
While monitoring limitations constrained comprehensive impact measurement, the evaluation confirmed the sustainability of outcomes through participants’ commitment to maintaining change and through CRP’s internal capacity-building initiatives, which established a supportive ecosystem for continued GBV prevention and response services.
