A/HRC/41/3 E/CN.6/2019/7 findings among practitioners and partners. Examples of final evaluations received in 2018 are provided below. 51. The grantee Restless Development, Nepal, implemented a project in two regions of the country to: (a) reduce the incidence of the harmful traditional practice of chhaupadi, which includes forcing women and girls to sleep in a hut during menstruation; and (b) improve nutrition and health, social support and access to education during menstruation for women and girls. In the final evaluation, it was found that the project had significantly decreased the incidence of the practice. The project reached 45,990 women and girls, far exceeding its target of 28,00 0, and, through the project, the proportion of women and girls who slept (or who were forced to sleep) outside in a hut fell from 19.4 per cent to 5.5 per cent. By the end of the project, far fewer women and girls reported that they were given reduced port ions of dairy products during menstruation, and all the male community leaders believed that the harmful traditional practice should be eliminated (as compared with 71 per cent at the start of the project). 52. In the United Republic of Tanzania, the grantee Equality for Growth worked with traders to reduce sexual, verbal, physical and political violence against female traders in two districts (Ilala and Temeke) as well as to improve protection and support when violence does occur so that women can more fully exercise their economic rights. In the final evaluation, it was found that the project had contributed to a better trading environment for female market traders. In addition, 86 per cent of women who took part in a survey stated that, after the project, violence against women in the marketplace had decreased. By the time of the project’s completion, between four and seven cases of violence against women were being reported each month in the markets surveyed, down from some 20 cases per month in 2015, and as a result of the authorities’ improved capacities, more than 90 per cent of the female traders interviewed were able to obtain access to services to address violence against women. 53. Between January and November 2018, the trust fund team conducted 29 monitoring missions to projects in 21 countries, eight of which were to provide training and support to small organizations. One such visit was to a project implemented in Egypt by Al Shehab Institution for Comprehensive Development, which was aimed at supporting marginalized women who experience violence and/or are at risk of HIV infection. In a final evaluation of the project, it was found that women’s understanding of personal and structural violence had improved, as had the level of their interaction with support services. By the end of the project, health-care, legal, psychological and anti-violence programmes had reached 1,662 at-risk women in Cairo and helped to bring about significant behavioural change. Based on the success and learning potential of this project, the grantee was invited to submit a second proposal for a project, which will enhance the provision of essential services for women who have been the most marginalized in four informal, urban communities in greater Cairo. 54. The trust fund team also visited the project entitled “Improving access to fife with no violence” for women survivors in central and northern Montenegro, which is using a small trust fund grant to improves the access of women and children who are survivors of violence to specialized support services in four economically disadvantaged and geographically isolated communities. Through the project, new bilingual support services in Montenegrin and Albanian have been introduced on the national SOS helpline, responding to the needs of Roma women. Now regularly available eight hours per week, the service has provided information to some 200 women. 14/16 18-21716
