GBV AoR Capacity Strengthening Strategy 2023 — 2028

Oct 30, 2023

This Strategy focuses on strengthening the capacity of Country AoR Members, including local actors, and Country AoR Coordination Teams, to enhance their respective programming and coordination capacities for GBV prevention and response. It has been developed in consultation with the IASC GBV Guidelines Reference Group, the global interagency coordination group leading capacity building efforts on GBV risk mitigation with humanitarian actors working in non-GBV sectors and clusters. This ensures dedicated capacity strengthening on all three core components of GBV Programming: mitigation, prevention and response, while simultaneously reinforcing that GBV is a shared responsibility across the entire humanitarian system. Whilst this Strategy focuses on GBV prevention and response, the accompanying Annex outlines the general approach for capacity strengthening on GBV mitigation, as developed by the IASC GBV Guidelines Reference Group, and reaffirms the AoR’s commitment to ongoing collaboration with the Reference Group.
