2. Agenda Links between GBV and Humanitarian Programming
Knowledge Basics for Implementing the Thematic Area Guidance
A Closer Look: Assessment; Resource Mobilization; Implementation; Referrals; Coordination; Monitoring and Evaluation
Discussion of Implementation Strategy
Developing an Action Plan
Should we have a standardized set of consideations

3. Outcomes CAMP COORDINATION AND CAMP MANAGEMENT (CCCM)
CCCM actors are informed about key relevant elements of the Guidelines
CCCM actors are supported to develop an action plan with indicators for integrating the Guidelines’ recommendations into their areas of operation
CCCM actors identify accountability measures to track progress of GBV risk reduction mainstreaming and response
Should we have a standardized set of consideations
CAMP COORDINATION AND CAMP MANAGEMENT (CCCM)

4. “Protection of all persons affected and at risk must inform humanitarian decision- making and response…it must be central to our preparedness efforts, as part of immediate and life-saving activities….”

5. Warm-up Activity: Mapping Risk across CCCM
What types of GBV are prevalent in your settings?
What are the risks in this setting that contribute to GBV
Pre-existing - exists independent of, or prior to emergency or conflict (culture, policy, etc.)
Emergency-related - specific to/resulting from the disaster or conflict
Humanitarian-related - caused directly or indirectly by humanitarian environment
What can your cluster/sector do to prevent and mitigate GBV risks?
Pre-existing risk mitigation activity
Emergency-related risk mitigation activity
Humanitarian-related risk mitigation activity

6. Assessment, Analysis and Planning
What are our priority areas of inquiry for CCCM?
Should we have a standardized set of consideations

7. A walk through CCCM TAG: Assessment, Analysis & Planning
Key point:
Purpose is not for CCCM actors to undertake standalone GBV assessments, but rather to incorporate questions related to GBV risks into their ongoing CCCM assessments

8. A walk through CCCM TAG: Assessment (cont’d)
Provides a list of recommended GBV-related questions to incorporate, as relevant, into CCCM assessments and routine monitoring
These questions do not cover the nature and scope of GBV, but basic issues related to CCCM programming, policies and communications
CCCM specialists are NOT expected to undertake assessments about the extent of GBV

9. What does this mean for CCCM ?
From page 42:
e) Have safety and privacy been considered at the camp planning and set-up stage (e.g. through the provision of intrusion-resistant materials, doors and windows that lock, etc.)? Are the SPHERE standards for space and density being met to avoid overcrowding?
n) Are married women, single women, single men, and girls and boys without family members registered individually? Are individuals with different gender identities able to register in a safe and non-stigmatizing way?

10. Activity: Conducting Assessments
Option 1: Review and Discuss
Review the Areas of Inquiry in the GBV guidelines:
Which questions would you prioritize?
How will you collect this information?
What surveys / assessment are already being used where you can integrate questions
When and where will the survey occur to ensure participation of at-risk groups
Who would you need to work with to collect this information?
What is the composition of the assessment team, men / women?
What training will they require?
How will they communicate about the assessment with the community?
Refer to assessment task sheet if printing available

11. Activity: Conducting Assessments
Option 2: Review and Compare
Review the Areas of Inquiry in the GBV guidelines against your current assessment tool.
Which GBV risks and considerations are already integrated in the assessment tool currently or previously used?
Which GBV risks or considerations would you prioritize for inclusion?
How will it be possible to integrate new questions which consider GBV risks?
With whom will you need to advocate to include these areas of inquiry?
- Cluster coordinators, state actors, GBV specialists
With whom will you need to collaborate in order to safely and effectively integrate these areas of inquiry?
A locally relevant assessment tool is needed in advance.

12. Activity: Conducting Assessments
Option 3: Mapping information on GBV risks to mitigation
Prioritize 3 areas of inquiry that apply to your context and carry out the below:
Area of Inquiry
Risk of Concern
Potential for GBV
Mitigation
1. Recovery/ replacement of personal identity documents
People unable to receive humanitarian assistance (housing, food,etc)
Risk of trafficking, transactional sex, gender-based deprivation
Register each woman, man, boy and girl separately, provide appropriate documentation
2. Ratio of female/male security personnel
Female survivors unable to speak to male security personnel
Repeated sexual assault, intimate partner violence
Adapt recruitment process to include women, adjust for necessary capacity building
Can print out this matrix as a separate document for use by particpants

13. Quiz: Conducting Assessments
CCCM actors should:
Consult GBV specialists throughout the planning, design, analysis and interpretation of an assessment
Not use local expertise
Strictly adhere to safe and ethical recommendations for researching GBV
Share data that may be linked back to a group or an individual, including GBV survivors
Seek out GBV survivors to speak to them specifically about their experiences of GBV

14. Quiz: Conducting Assessments
Assume reported data on GBV/trends represent actual prevalence/trends in the extent of GBV
Include GBV specialists on inter-agency and inter-sectoral teams
Not include female assessors and translators when conducting assessments
Conduct consultations in a secure setting where individuals feel safe to provide information and participate in discussions and decision-making
Provide training for assessment team members on ethical and safety issues

15. Discussion:
Is it always possible to include GBV in initial assessments?
How can one ensure inclusion of at-risk groups in assessments?
Who needs to be involved?
Why is it the responsibility of CCCM staff? Where does this responsibility ends?
Who needs to be convinced?
ALWAYS INVOLVED WOMEN AND OTHER AT-RISK GROUPS IN THE DESIGN AND ASSESSMENT OF CCCM PROGRAMS

16. Resource Mobilization
What are CCCM commitments to Resource Mobilization for GBV risk reduction?

17. A walk through the CCCM TAG: Resource Mobilization
Key point:
Funding for CCCM-related GBV prevention and risk mitigation activities must be included in project proposals from the outset of emergency response

18. A walk through the CCCM TAG: Resource Mobilization
In humanitarian settings, GBV resources tend to be linked to longer-term protection and stability initiatives
Resources to address GBV in emergencies are often limited
The Guidelines provide recommendations on incorporating GBV risk mitigation activities into project proposals
Donors are encouraged to reference this section to ensure GBV issues are included in CCCM proposals

19. A walk through the CCCM TAG: Resource Mobilization
GBV risk based on gender analysis and safety audit
Proposed intervention
Risk vs. benefits
Adapted intervention
Impact?

20. What does this mean for CCCM ?
GBV-related points to consider for inclusion in a proposal (Pg. 44):
1). Humanitarian Needs Overview/Situation Analysis:
Describe the vulnerabilities of women, girls and other at-risk groups;
2). Project Rationale/Justification:
Explain GBV-related risks related to CCCM interventions in your context;
3). Project Description:
Explain which activities may help in preventing or mitigating GBV
Describe mechanisms that facilitate reporting of GBV in safe and ethical manner

21. What does this mean for CCCM ?
How to measure GBV-related points to consider for inclusion in a proposal, cont’d:
Monitoring and Evaluation:
M&E plan should track progress and adverse effects on GBV mainstreaming activities;
M&E plan should include the participation of women, girls and other at-risk groups;
Include outcome-level indicators to measure program impact on GBV-related risks;
Disaggregate indicators by sex, age, disability and other vulnerability factors

22. THE IASC GENDER MARKER
Both Gender marker and GBV mainstreaming address issues of women and girls’ empowerment and gender equality and include men and boys as partners in prevention.
= Tool that codes (0-2 scale) whether or not a humanitarian project is designed well enough to ensure that women/girls, men/boys will benefit equally from it or that it will advance gender equality in another way

23. What does this mean for CCCM ?
Some examples of GBV mainstreaming activities that can be included in proposals:
Community-based strategies to monitor high-risk areas; community watch programmes/security groups, security patrols, protection monitors
Incorporate GBV as a risk factor for vulnerability in IDP profiling and refugee registration processes
Make female registration staff available to interview females

24. What does this mean for CCCM ?
Do you have other examples of mitigation strategies?

25. Activity: Resource Mobilization
In Small Groups:
Review the assigned proposal in light with the resource mobilization checklist of the Guidelines and highlight:
Good practices
Gaps
Proposed strategies to address these gaps.
Tools needed to better design proposals
Options for proposal:
Each participant brings one from their organization
Distribute proposals from the OPS system
Develop a proposal based on the HRP and sectoral focus

26. Discussion:
Is GBV-related activities in CCCM programs always cost-effective? Why should it be considered?
Do donors always support GBV-related activities in CCCM programs? What can be some of these barriers?
GBV MAINSTREAMING ACTIVITIES ALWAYS CONTRIBUTE TO GOOD CCCM PROGRAMMING
Unaccompanied minors and separated children
Disarmament, demobilization and reintegration

27. Implementation
What are our commitments to include GBV prevention and mitigation within ongoing and new CCCM activities?

28. A walk through the CCCM TAG: Implementation
Key takeaway:
If effectively designed, CCCM programmes can mitigate risks of GBV:
Safe access to services
Participation of women and girls in CCCM committees
Supporting privacy and dignity

29. A walk through the CCCM TAG: Implementation
Provides guidance for putting GBV-related risk reduction responsibilities into practice
Activities to improve the overall quality of GBV-related prevention and mitigation strategies:
Establish GBV-related responsibilities common to all actors working within CCCM
Recommend strategies for CCCM actors to reduce risks
Maximize immediate protection of GBV survivors and persons at risk and foster longer-term interventions to eliminate GBV
3 main types of responsibilities: programming, policies, and communications & information sharing

30. What does this mean for CCCM?
From page 45:
Implement strategies that safeguard those at risk of GBV during documentation, profiling and registration processes.
Consider safety issues when selecting site locations so that camps do not exacerbate GBV vulnerabilities (e.g. proximity to national borders)
Regularly check on site security and the well being of women, girls and other at-risk groups

31. Activity- Implementation
Option 1: Review Mitigation Strategies
In small groups:
Review recommended mitigation strategies
Add any strategies missing
Prioritize 2-3 key strategies that should be prioritized

33. Discussion: Prioritization and Selection Criteria
How to prioritize GBV risk reduction in CCCM programs?
What types of investments are required?
What vulnerability criteria would you use for beneficiaries?
What challenges are associated with these?
How should sensitive information be managed to protect affected populations, including survivors of GBV?
DON’T SINGLE OUT GBV SURVIVORS OR VULNERABLE GROUPS

34. Coordination
What are our commitments to include GBV prevention and mitigation within ongoing and new CCCM activities?

35. A walk through the CCCM TAG: Coordination
Key takeaways:
GBV prevention and risk reduction is most effective when done in coordination with both GBV specialists and other sectors
Recommends specific actions for CCCM actors to coordinate with others

36. A walk through the CCCM TAG: Coordination
Supports humanitarian actors to define responsibilities and accountability mechanisms in GBV prevention and response efforts
Establish responsibilities for humanitarian actors in the prevention and mitigation of GBV
Maximize immediate protection of GBV survivors and persons at risk through multi-sectoral coordination on response to GBV incidents
Coordination activities can move across the 3 main types of responsibilities: programming, policies, and communications & information sharing and may also include advocacy / efforts for:
Assessment
Resource Mobilization
Monitoring and Evaluation

37. A walk through the CCCM TAG: Coordination
GBV Specialists can assist CCCM actors to (Pg. 54):
Design and conduct CCCM assessments that examine the risks of GBV, and strategize ways to mitigate these risks
Provide trainings for CCCM staff on issues of gender, GBV and women’s/human rights
Develop standard operating procedures (SOPs) for CCCM actors

38. What does this mean for CCCM?
Coordination with GBV Specialists, cont’d…
GBV Specialists can assist CCCM actors to:
Identify where survivors can receive care, and provide CCCM staff with skills and information to respond supportively to survivors
Provide training for the affected community on issues of gender, GBV and women’s/human rights as they relate to CCCM rights
Review relevant statutory and customary laws and policies to strengthen GBV-related legal protections

39. What does this mean for CCCM:
Coordination with other sectors (p. 55)
CCCM actors can work with (E.g.: education actors):
To plan the location and structure of education programmes (including temporary learning spaces) based
Ensure school retention for displaced children and adolescents

40. What does this mean for CCCM:
Coordination for cross-cutting issues
Also coordinate with partners addressing:
gender
mental health and psychosocial support (MHPSS)
HIV
age
environment

41. Activity: Coordination
Option 1: Mechanisms to Support Program Implementation
Return to small groups from the implementation activity:
Reflect on the specific actions recommended
Who needs to be involved to execute this action
GBV specialists
Other clusters
What type of coordination is required – be specific
- Roles and responsibilities
- Accountability mechanisms
Disarmament, demobilization and reintegration

42. Activity: Coordination Mapping
With what sectors would CCCM benefit from stronger coordination?
What coordination mechanisms exist to support collaboration
Key actions
Who is responsible, accountable, needs to be informed
How will you monitor progress
How could CCCM and protection actors better coordinate/work together?

43. Suggested recommendations about referrals in the Guidelines
All humanitarian personnel who engage with affected populations should have up to date written information about where to refer survivors for care and support.
Ensure training on how to respectfully and supportively engage with survivors and provide risk reporting and/or referral information in an ethical, safe and confidential manner
Any programmes that share information about reports of GBV must abide by safety and ethical standards (e.g. shared information does not reveal the identity of or pose a security risk to individual survivors, their families or the broader community)
If necessary or appropriate, insert here the Referral Module.

44. Activity: Coordination
Option 3: Coordination and Referrals w/ GBV specialists
In small groups discuss:
Map the current referral mechanism where your activities are ongoing
- What services are available
- Which actors are involved
What are your responsibilities within the referral mechanism?
- Who do you immediately report an incident to?
- Are there cases where you are unable to refer?
What happens when there is no referral mechanism in place or when it is not functioning?
- What are your responsibilities in this situation?
Where does the role of frontline provider responsibilities end and that of specialized services (case manager for example) begin?
What are the concerns for a humanitarian actor to refer survivors directly to services?
May feel pressured, not qualified, to ask more details, doesn’t know how to make an appropriate referral
May not know the quality of the services being provided at any one service (health, legal, etc)
May do more harm in referring a victim to a service that would further discriminate against him or her or put her in an unsafe situation
What is the reality in some contexts?
No protection officers or specialists are present (case managers)
Other cluster actors interact with beneficiaries and develop trust over time – beneficiaries choose to disclose details of the incident to frontline actors
State actors do not employ proper referral mechanism in place or services to which they may inform survivors or refer
How do humanitarian staff work with other clusters to ensure referral mechanisms function properly?

45. Monitoring and Evaluation
What are priority indicators for GBV prevention and risk mitigation in CCCM programming?

46. A walk through the CCCM TAG: Monitoring & Evaluation
Key Point:
Indicators can be used to measure the outcomes of activities undertaken across the programme cycle, with the ultimate aim of maintaining effective programmes and improving accountability

47. A walk through the CCCM TAG: Monitoring & Evaluation
Why? Limited evidence exists on effective integration of GBV programming in “other” sectors
Indicators in the Guidelines aim to:
Track outputs resulting from interventions to affected populations
Chart outcome of cluster activities
Measure progress toward objectives, considering diversity of affected populations & their perspectives of the response

48. Monitoring & Evaluation: Indicators
Why? Limited evidence exists on effective integration of GBV programming in “other” sectors
Indicators in the Guidelines aim to:
Track outputs resulting from interventions to affected populations
Chart outcome of cluster activities
Measure progress toward objectives, considering diversity of affected populations & their perspectives of the response

49. A walk through the CCCM TAG: Monitoring & Evaluation: Reporting
Analyze existing data using a ‘GBV lens’ to improve GBV prevention and response
Example: Existence of registration procedures that ensure each displaced individual is registered.
What are the implications of the findings?
How may this affect GBV prevention and mitigation?
Failing to meet a target can lead to response and resource mobilization
Use data for action across the programme cycle

50. What does this mean for CCCM (Pg. 56)?
# of displacement sites that have a designated safe space for women/adolescents/children
# of affected persons who participate in CCCM governance structures who are female
# of main points with functional lighting structure
# of complaints about safety gathered by CCCM feedback mechanisms and acted on
# of non-CCCM sectors consulted with to address GBV risk-reduction activities in sites

51. A walk through the CCCM TAG: Monitoring & Evaluation
Good to know:
Improvement or success is not demonstrated by a decrease in reported GBV cases
Targets and data sources can be modified to fit the context

52. Activity: Monitoring & Evaluation
Option 1: Prioritizing indicators and data collection methodology
Prioritize 1-2 indicators
Select indicator from assessment, resource mobilization, implementation or coordination based on current focus within response
For example, if preparing for an assessment
Review the indicator reference sheet used for women’s participation
3. Fill out the blank indicator reference sheet for the indicator prioritized
Indicator description
Indicator acquisition
Data Quality issues
Data Analysis and Reporting/Dissemination

53. Activity: Monitoring & Evaluation
Option 2: Analyzing findings from gender or GBV evaluation
How are these findings relevant to your sector programming?
Which sectoral activities may be contributing to GBV risks?
What cultural, community or policy variables may be contributing to GBV risks?
Representation of women, girls and at-risk groups
Traditional or cultural gender norms, power dynamics
Policies governing access to services, impunity
What activities could you adjust to prevent or mitigate GBV risks?
Activities specific to prevention (focus on gender equality)
Activities specific to mitigation (focus on reducing exposure to risk)
Activities specific to response (focus on PFA, referral)

54. Monitoring and Evaluation
How do you know whether CCCM programs contributed to reducing GBV risks?
- Did select CCCM activities contribute to reducing GBV risks?
- What information lets you measure this?
What are the challenges to monitoring GBV risks?
Is it always possible to monitor that at-risk groups needs are identified and responded to?
Do CCCM SOPs include direction for monitoring GBV risks within CCCM programming?
Do not use number of reported cases as an indicator of success.

55. Final Action Plan
In teams write down the priority actions to take forward
Refer to the prevention, mitigation and response activities of the day
Highlight key actors and responsibilities
Note attention to specific types of actions, such as training, resources, staffing, access, etc.
