USAID funded Indoensa Bersama project. This project will support
community-based efforts to prevent and respond to GBV in Eastern
Indonesia, especially in Papua and West Papua. This effort will serve as

provision of basic services, especially services for survivors of
violence. As violence against women constitutes the largest and most
visible component of GBV, the Bersama project will focus primarily on
VAW while leaving the door open to addressing other aspects of GBV.
