This review examines the implementation of UNHCR's Women Victims of
Violence Project (the WVV Project) in Kenya, launched in October 1993 and
integrated into the Office's general operations in that country in July 1995. The
review was conducted with a view to identifying the lessons learned by
UNHCR in the course of this unprecedented project, and making
recommendations regarding its replication, as a whole or in part, in other
situations where persons of concern to the High Commissioner risk physical
assault of similar gravity. A summary of this evaluation was presented to the
Sub-Committee on Administration and Finance of the Executive Committee in
June 1995.
