The Cash for Protection (C4P) Task Team has recently published the Cash for Protection Stocktaking Paper in order to support a common understanding of the use of CVA in the protection sector, share up-to-date evidence and highlight gaps in knowledge, practice that require critical attention and resources. This session will help protection specialists, including but not limited to GBV specialists, to better understand the potential of using CVA for protection outcomes, evidence and evidence gaps, and key stakeholder actions to tackle gaps in evidence and practice. This session will dive into CVA for GBV outcomes and GBV risk mitigation in CVA as a potential roadmap for expanding CVA and Protection integration across the other AoRs (Child Protection, Housing Land and Property, and Mine Action).
Ensuring GBV risk mitigation in CVA programming is critical to ensuring displaced women and girls’ protection. This session will share key tools and guidance for Cash and Protection actors on how to ensure GBV risks are minimized (in the design, implementation and monitoring of any CVA programme) through a practical walk through the “GBV risk analysis matrix” – which is a simple tool to ensure do no harm to women and girls’ when using CVA as a modality of assistance.
