GBV Accountability Framework
09 Sep, 2020
Humanitarian actors at all levels need to better prioritize gender-based violence (GBV) in order to create and implement scaled‐up responses that better address women’s and girls’ rights and needs. The GBV Accountability Framework provides a guide for humanitarian actors, from service providers to GBV coordinators and humanitarian leaders and donors, on the steps they can take to combat GBV within their mandates. By taking on the actions in the Framework, the humanitarian system as a whole can consistently dedicate on‐the-ground efforts to mitigate GBV risks and deliver comprehensive, quality services for women and girls. The Framework puts a spotlight on GBV and the reality that all humanitarian actors have a role to play. It captures responsibilities and identified roles for different stakeholders based on existing policies, guidelines and best practice, and for the first time pulls these concrete and validated actions into one place.

The selection process for the WLO to assume that role was not competitive, given that there were no other WLOs working in the region of DolloGedo. Initially, Trócaire held conversations with ADA to determine their level of interest. Once contracted, ADA appointed a staff member who could assume leadership in the coordination role. Although ADA was a member of the WASH Cluster in Elwak, this was the first time for ADA to be involved in GBV coordination, as the Gedo GBV working group sat in Dollo town, whi...
