Webinar: Process for a CVA actor integrating gender and managing GBV in CVA projects
Throughout 2019 DCA has focused on strengthening the integration of gender and management of GBV in cash and voucher assistance. To support staff in country offices and DCA’s local partners to work strategically with this, DCA developed a set of tools that will make it easier to adopt a gendered approach in CVA. This presentation gives an overview of the process towards making gender and GBV in CVA more tangible to non-gender experts at country and field levels. It furthermore includes examples of some of the results we have seen from GBV and Gender Analysis conducted in contexts with ongoing CVA projects.

Webinar: Women’s experiences of violence during cash transfer programs in emergency settings: Learnings from Raqqa Governorate, Syria & Recommendations for Risk Mitigation
Cash and voucher assistance is an efficient way to deliver assistance in emergency settings, and evidence demonstrates that cash programs have consistent positive impacts on food security and other health and economic outcomes in these contexts. Nevertheless, while evidence from development settings shows that cash has the potential to reduce intimate partner violence and increase empowerment for women and girls, there is a dearth of rigorous evidence from acute humanitarian settings. In response to this evidence gap, the International Rescue Committee conducted an evaluation of a cash program in Raqqa Governorate, Syria. The aim was to examine the effect of a cash for basic needs program on outcomes of violence against women, and women’s empowerment. This webinar will explore the results of the IRC’s study in Raqqa Governorate, Syria and recommendations for risk mitigation for cash assistance in emergency settings, including the Safer Cash Toolkit.
