In 2023, as part of the Ukrainian refugee response in Moldova, the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) conducted a pilot to integrate cash assistance into gender-based violence (GBV) case management. Targeting GBV survivors and those at risk, including Ukrainian refugees and vulnerable Moldovans, the program aimed to mitigate GBV risks and enhance GBV response by addressing economic barriers that hinder survivors from escaping abusive situations and accessing life-saving GBV services. Two modalities were utilized: one-off emergency cash assistance and recurring cash assistance for up to three months. The pilot, conducted from January to December 2023, benefited 224 individuals. Results were shared in a round-table discussion involving the Ministry of Labour and Social Protection, civil society organizations, and UN agencies to advocate for continued use of cash assistance in GBV case management. Ultimately, 98% of respondents reported that the cash assistance helped t...

The gender-based violence (GBV) in emergencies analytical framework (GBViE AnF) is an overarching guide to GBV data collection and analysis in humanitarian emergencies. It provides guidance on gathering crucial insights for the prevention of, and response to, GBV in emergencies, setting out the analytical questions and specific information requirements that can be met through either primary data collection or secondary data review. While it is not a data collection tool, the framework can be applied to identify GBV information gaps.

Since the establishment of the Regional Emergency GBV Advisors (REGA) structure as an emergency mechanism in 2014, it has been challenging to ensure the systematic collection and analysis of evidence to assess its impact and relevance - beyond the number of deployments or the size and composition of the teams. A lack of qualitative evidence for the sustainability of the deployments measured in the extent to which their work has been capitalised on, replicated and sustainably absorbed by country offices, field GBV sub-clusters and UNFPA Regional Offices has also been noted. In addition, the Gender-Based Violence (GBV) expertise gap in operations seems to have grown between 2014 and 2019, which was reflected by the commitment in the 2019 REGA Letter of Intent to expand the composition of the REGA teams by adding new areas of GBV expertise (Regional Coordination and Information Management) to provide wider support to country operations. Nonetheless, there has been little joint ana...
