This document provides an agenda for a workshop on integrating gender-based violence interventions in humanitarian action. The workshop will cover implementing guidelines for preventing and responding to GBV. Participants will learn about assessment, resource mobilization, implementation, referrals, coordination, and monitoring and evaluation practices. The goal is for sector actors to develop action plans with indicators to mainstream GBV risk reduction and response into their operations. Participants will also identify accountability measures to track progress. The workshop emphasizes protecting all affected persons from GBV must inform humanitarian decision-making and response.

Warm-up Activity: Mapping Risk
1) What types of GBV are prevalent in your settings
2) 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
3) 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
