Guidelines for Integrating GBV Interventions in Humanitarian Action – Essential Actions (IASC, 2015)

Publisher: Global Protection Cluster / IASC
Year: 2015

Description:
This document consolidates the “essential actions and minimum commitments” tables from the comprehensive Guidelines on Integrating Gender-based Violence Interventions in Humanitarian Action (“GBV Guidelines”) and each sector-specific Thematic Area Guide (TAG) into one document that can be easily downloaded and/or printed to use as a quick reference tool during the earliest stages of acute emergency response. It is meant to support, but not replace, the comprehensive Guidelines and sector-specific TAGs. These tables provide key recommendations for each thematic area. The sector-specific minimum commitments appear in bold.

These minimum commitments represent critical actions that sector actors can prioritize in the earliest stages of emergency when resources and time are limited. As soon as the acute emergency has subsided (anywhere from two weeks to several months, depending on the setting), additional essential actions outlined in the summary table—and elaborated in the body of the thematic area section—should be initiated and/or scaled up.
