This brief presents the recommendations that were formulated as a result of the workshop, highlighting critical actions to work toward mitigating GBV risks during the transition to greater Government assistance in place of current humanitarian Cash assistance.

Global Cluster Coordinators Group, Statement for 16 DAYS OF ACTIVISM AGAINST GENDER-BASED VIOLENCE 2022
25 Nov, 2022
IT’S ON ALL OF US – COLLECTIVE RESPONSIBILITY FOR GBV RISK MITIGATION Global Cluster Coordinators Group, Statement for 16 DAYS OF ACTIVISM AGAINST GENDER-BASED VIOLENCE 2022 As humanitarians, we have a collective responsibility to ensure that we are doing all we can in our work, to understand and mitigate gender-based violence (GBV), which we know is exacerbated in times of crisis. We are called to do so by the commitments and standards of our profession and the Centrality of Protection. Perhaps most importantly, we are also called to do so because the very programming that we implement can – if not done well - cause or intensify GBV, violating the rights of women and girls (and other marginalized genders according to the context), and our own principle to “Do No Harm”. The GCCG is committed to ensuring that GBV risk mitigation is consistently addressed as an immediate priority in humanitarian action, regardless of cluster or mandate. Based on t...

Mainstreaming gender-based violence (GBV) considerations in CVA: key tips for cash actors engaged in the Myanmar response
05 Dec, 2022
Burmese language version available here In Myanmar, over $53 million USD has been disbursed in CVA since January 2021. The delivery of the assistance has been impacted by tremendous context-specific challenges, both technical and operational as well as related to protection or gender-based violence (GBV). In light of the security and political context, most CVA interventions have been made possible thanks to a very localized, low-profile approach. Many activities have been conducted remotely over the phone due to various access-related challenges that can heavily impact the participation of women and other at-risk populations. Bearing in mind this challenging landscape, a joint discussion between CVA and GBV actors took place in October 2022 with the objective of identifying the common GBV risks related to CVA and realistic actions that actors can undertake to decrease and prevent those risks. This note is a summary of the discussion, elaborating key recommendations and potential...
Operational research on GBV risk mitigation in relation to CVA in humanitarian settings - UNFPA/GWI collaborative research overview
05 Dec, 2022
The Global Women’s Institute at George Washington University and UNFPA have launched a collaboration to examine GBV risk mitigation in relation to CVA in humanitarian settings in order to (a) further corroborate the presence of GBV risks to women and girls in current CVA programming; and b) develop indicators for the adequate detection, monitoring, and mitigation of GBV risks. Results of the operational research will be published in Q4 2023. The final outputs of the operational research will be geared toward humanitarian practitioners and will focus on its practical, concrete implications for the integration of GBV risk mitigation activities within the design and implementation of CVA programming.
BLOGPOST: Cash actors have the power to mitigate GBV – here are six ways to do it
06 Dec, 2022
Cash actors play an important role in providing assistance that helps to save lives and increases resilience. But it’s also our responsibility to carefully consider any possible Gender-Based Violence (GBV) risks that cash and voucher assistance (CVA) could create for women* who receive it. While there has been great progress in recent years to improve women’s safety when accessing CVA, it’s time to go the extra mile. This year to mark the ‘16 days of activism on Gender Based Violence’ we’re recommending some easy ways to implement GBV risk mitigation measures throughout the CVA program cycle.
