MENA Webinar Series: Tackling Gender-Based Violence via Cash and Voucher Assistance
Since 2018, there has been an increased focus on the use of cash and voucher assistance (CVA) for protection outcomes, including the integration of CVA into GBV response. An array of guidance and tools on the topic are now available. In their 2022 Humanitarian Action Overview, UNFPA outlined that cash transfers would be an integral part of their GBV prevention and response approach. However, evidence from the use of CVA for GBV outcomes is scarce and opportunities to leverage CVA within a GBV case management framework are rarely seized. Significant knowledge gaps remain on the topic for CVA and GBV specialists alike. To fill this gap and raise the interest of practitioners, the CALP Network is hosting a series of webinars on this theme looking at the Middle East and North Africa (MENA). Join us for these exciting webinars as we draw on the learning in Turkey, Northwest Syria, Lebanon, and Jordan. Expert panelists will share: Evidence about the impact programming has had on ...

Post Graduate Diploma in Gender-Based Violence in Emergencies at the University of Nairobi

The course is asynchronous (weekly materials can be downloaded and then completed at the pace of the student), in English, and completely online. This is a wonderful opportunity for emerging practitioners and allies who want to gain expertise in GBV prevention and response in humanitarian settings and who might be living in countries with low-resources. Potential students can apply to the University directly. Students must pay tuition, but I hope that many of our member organizations will consider sponsoring staff in their own organizations or among their implementing partners. Join us on Thursday if you have any questions. Please share this with members in your network who might be interested in this exciting opportunity.
