On 3-5 September 2019, the Localisation Task Team of the Gender- Based Violence Area of Responsibility (GBV AoR) held an Africa regional workshop focused on the engagement of local actors – particularly women-led organisations-- in humanitarian GBV prevention, response, and coordination activities. Held in Nairobi, Kenya, it brought together 33 participants from the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), Kenya, Nigeria, South Sudan and Somalia, as well as global and regional actors. Eighteen women from Local and National Women Led organisations participated in the workshop.
