This guidance note provides basic information on how to conduct risk analyses for gender-based violence (GBV) programming. A programmatic risk analysis is useful as it considers some of the essential features that should already be in place, or planned for, when designing and implementing GBV response or prevention programming to ensure safety. This guidance first provides a brief discussion of risk analyses for response and prevention programming, and then provides sample checklists for key components of the analyses. The document concludes with a list of supplemental resources to further inform risk analyses design and implementation.
