UNFPA Indicators for GBV Risk Mitigation in Cash Assistance with Supporting Guidance

26 Sep, 2023

This guide offers proxy indicators for assessing GBV risks to women in cash interventions. Cash actors can adapt these proxy indicators, which were developed based on operational research that focused on multipurpose cash assistance programmes, according to their context and the structure of their cash interventions. Each indicator is presented with example questions and user-friendly guidance on how to contextualize, measure, and interpret data to better detect and mitigate GBV risks in cash assistance.

GBV Risks, Food Insecurity, and the Integrated Food Security Classification – What Are Basics that Food Security and GBV Actors Need to Know? - GBV AoR Helpdesk 2022

07 Sep, 2022
