81321625-Renforcement des capacités des partenaires de mise en ?uvre en santé mentale et soutien psychosocial au Burkina Faso

Kurze Beschreibung

The project Psychosocial Support for Internally Displaced Women in the Estearn Region of Burkina Faso (ProSPS) aims to improve the psychosocial well-being of internally displaced women and vulnerable individuals in the commune of Fada N'Gourma.

This objective is supported by three areas of action:
1. Improving access to community-based psychosocial support: displaced women and vulnerable members of the host communities who experience psychological distress have the possibility to participate in community-based psychosocial support measures to learn how to better cope with experiences of displacement, violence, and trauma.
2. Improving access to person-centered psychosocial support: displaced women and vulnerable members of the host communities in particularly severe psychological distress are stabilized through comprehensive and individual support packages that promote their reintegration into social and economic life.
3. Strengthening the self-determination of women: displaced women and vulnerable members of the host communities are supported in strengthening their self-determination and social participation. The focus is laid on those individuals who have participated in community-based and individual psychosocial support measures.

The project focuses on women aged 16 years or older who have been internally displaced or belong to the host communities. Nonetheless, men are also addressed by the project activities. The target group compromises of individuals who have experienced gender-based violence, witnessed atrocities, suffer from disabilities, belong to a marginalized group or have faced other traumatic events. The psychosocial support offered by ProSPS actively involves both host community members and the internally displaced to foster social cohesion.

The intermediaries and implementation partners are employees and volunteers from the decentralized services of the Ministry of Humanitarian Action and the Ministry of Health, as well as administrators of the city of Fada N'Gourma and professionals from civil society. The project is committed to developing the capacities of its local partners and integrating a gender transformative approach all along the way.
