| Médecins du Monde (MdM) is an international movement of France- based activists who are campaigning to promote social change by providing access to healthcare and social services in crisis and conflict settings. MdM enlisted a Capstone team to evaluate their gender-based violence (GBV) intervention program in the Central African Republic (CAR) and research attitudes and opinions on GBV care integration in Nigeria. The team’s evaluation detailed the history of patient care routines over the past three years in CAR and described the healthcare provision processes along with key strengths and weaknesses of the program. The team also created data tools that MdM can leverage in future evaluations. To assess barriers to GBV care integration in Nigeria, the team interviewed staff members using cellphone-recorded voice messages and delivered a report of their findings that will inform MdM integration in Nigeria. |
