Gender Based Violence

GBV AoR Strategy 2023-2025

The purpose of this strategy is to provide technical guidance to humanitarian actors, including members and partners of the Gender-Based Violence (GBV) Sub-Sector in North-East Nigeria, in order to implement and coordinate effective interventions to prevent and respond to GBV. The document will outline the strategic objectives and priority actions for 2023 through the development of a roadmap or action plan that serves as a guiding tool.
The strategy has undergone review by the GBV Area of Responsibility (AOR) regional team, the Strategic Advisory Group (SAG), and the GBV Sub-Sector in North-East Nigeria, as well as the protection sector and relevant AORs, such as the child protection sector, and United Nations (UN) agencies, including the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF), the United Nations Refugee Agency (UNHCR), the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (UNOCHA), and the World Health Organization (WHO).

Standard Operating Procedures for GBV Interventions in Humanitarian Settings in Northeast Nigeria

The purpose of this GBV SOPs resource package is to support the development of standard operating procedures (SOPs) for gender-based violence (GBV) interventions in humanitarian settings. When multiple organizations are providing GBV prevention and response services in humanitarian settings, it is crucial to adopt a coordinated approach. GBV SOPs are specific procedures that are agreed among organizations in a particular context, outlining the roles and responsibilities of each actor in preventing, mitigating the risks, and responding to GBV. GBV SOPs support GBV and other humanitarian actors to coordinate and implement safe and accessible GBV response, risk mitigation and prevention interventions. It can be a powerful tool for creating shared ownership among local, national, and international actors, agreeing on ethical standards and legal frameworks and outlining the specific accountability of each actor.
