The primary objective is to assess the barriers, impacts, and strategies for effective resilience within the war affected community; mainly war related gender based violence survivors in both regions with a focus on enhancing overall project success. Using a quantitative research approach, data was collected through a questionnaire survey to GBV survivors in three IDP centers and one referral Hospital.

Overall, the research provides valuable insights into the complexities of resilience project implementation in identified war affected areas of both regions. War-related sexual violence is becoming an increasing feature of conflict and security challenges and is used as a weapon of war to achieve military or political goals. It has tremendous negative short and long-term consequences for the victims, their families, and communities. Since the eruption of war in November 2020 in Tigray, which later escalated in the Amhara and Afar region, many women reported sexual violence and the destruction of health facilities. In this case, the research analyzes mainly the Implementation of the project and the outcomes related to it. A project needs to be managed according to project management principles and skill in order for it to be successful and achieve the desired goal.
