Ukraine situation: Moldova: Gender Task Force - Gender Accountability Framework Report (January 2024)

The global GAF tool was adapted to the Moldovan context and includes a total of 32 criteria1. Out of these, the Moldovan response was found to have fully met 44% and partially met 47% of the GAF criteria, a substantial result demonstrating a strong commitment to addressing gender issues throughout the response. That said, there is room for improvement and further efforts are needed by refugee response actors in Moldova to ensure that 100% of the criteria are fully met.

The results of the GAF exercise demonstrate that Moldovan humanitarian actors have made efforts to integrate gender equality and the empowerment of women and girls into the refugee response since the early days of the influx of refugees from Ukraine. These actions have steadily increased over the past 18 months, and as of September 2023, efforts to mainstream gender and diversity can be seen across institutional, programmatic, and strategic levels.
