Since the 2015 launch of the revised IASC Guidelines for Integrating Gender-Based Violence Interventions in Humanitarian Action, integrating GBV risk mitigation into programming and coordination has gained momentum across humanitarian sectors. To ensure sustainability, GBV risk mitigation must be embedded in the institutional systems that support programming.
With support from USAID’s Bureau of Humanitarian Affairs, UNICEF commissioned Tsunagu to develop a series of studies and a resource package, based on interviews and documents collected from May 2023 to June 2024. This effort, guided by an inter-agency advisory group, aimed to assess the institutionalization of GBV risk mitigation and highlight success stories.
Access the resource package and case studies below. We regularly update this page with new resources as GBV risk mitigation efforts evolve.
