During 2020, the GBV AoR regional support teams strengthened GBV coordination in emergencies in 24 countries. COVID-19 necessitated moving to remote assistance. REGA teams were bolstered by the arrival of new regional experts in information management (IM), rapid response, GBV preparedness and academic partnerships. Despite the hurdles related to the pandemic, regional and country level advocacy and technical support for the GBV community continued across five regions. UNFPA provided effective management support through its regional and country operations.
