A post-intervention study of UNFPA's five-year programme strengthening GBV prevention and response systems across Ukraine.
OVERVIEW
UNFPA's AMBER Project worked over five years to strengthen municipal-level systems for preventing and responding to gender-based violence across Ukraine — through capacity building, seed funding for services, PSS mobile teams, humanitarian aid, community engagement, and systemic advocacy. JRC was commissioned to assess what the programme achieved, how it held up under the pressures of war, and what it means for the systems it leaves behind.

ABOUT
A post-intervention study focused on durability — examining not just whether services were delivered, but whether the systems behind them took root and could outlast the programme itself.
APPROACH
JRC applied a rigorous mixed-methods approach, assessing the achievement of outcome and output indicators against the AMBER Project's Theory of Change and examining its effectiveness, relevance, sustainability, and impact. The study explored how AMBER-supported municipal systems adapted to conflict conditions and which successfully institutionalised GBV services within local budgets after seed funding was withdrawn. Findings were synthesised into tailored products for the Government of Ukraine, the Embassy of Canada / Global Affairs Canada, and the UN system — including a Global Learning Lab case study positioning the Ukraine model as a best practice for community-based GBV systems in conflict settings.
