HIAS is the global Jewish nonprofit organization that protects refugees—including women and children, and ethnic, religious, and sexual minorities—whose lives are in danger for being who they are.
BASELINE SURVEY PURPOSE AND OBJECTIVES
The main purpose of the study is to provide data and information that will be used as a basis to measure the degree and quality of change in the target population over the course of project implementation.

i. What is the current capacity of HIAS partner agency staff and refugee leaders to provide integrated SRHR services to LGBTQ refugees?
ii. What is the current capacity of healthcare workers and CBOs to provide improved, quality and LGBTQ-friendly SRHR services that meet LGBTQ individuals’ specific needs?
iii. What is the current knowledge and attitude levels on SRHR issues among LGBTQ refugees in Nairobi?
iv. What is the current capacity of LGBTQ CBOs to advocate for issues concerning their SRHR rights at the county and national level?
v. What is the current level of access to integrated SRHR services (including post-GBV services) by LGBTQ refugees in Nairobi?
