The Regional Emergency GBV Advisor (REGA) project was established in 2014, to strengthen system-wide capacities and promote collective accountability to GBV prevention, response and risk mitigation. The project is field-focused, and strengthens country-level gender-based violence (GBV) sub-clusters coordination in emergencies. The REGA project\mechanism was established through a strategic partnership between UNFPA, NORCAP and the GBV AoR. The GBV AoR, with UNFPA as its lead agency, is a functional component of the Global Protection Cluster.
