Summary
The primary purpose of this independent evaluation is to identify and analyse key findings and to elaborate recommendations regarding the implementation, quality, and impact of UNHCR's efforts to prevent and respond to sexual and gender-based violence in situations of forced displacement. The recommendations are to form the basis of a three-year SGBV plan of action aiming to enhance UNHCR's ability to meet its Global Strategic Objectives.

The evaluation is global in scope and based on the findings from five country missions as well as the information collected in desk reviews, interviews and workshops at UNHCR's headquarters in Geneva, and case studies and phone interviews with representatives from a geographically representative number of countries.
