The purpose of this workshop is to strengthen good quality GBV prevention and response, including coordination, in field sites.   Specifically, the workshop will enable participants to facilitate development of multi-sectoral GBV prevention and response procedures and practices in their settings.

The three day GBV SOP Workshop  supports individuals and GBV teams in the use of the SOP Guide.   The workshop emphasizes both the content of SOPs and the process for developing them.  Although all sections in the SOP Guide are covered in the workshop, emphasis is placed on specific topics and issues that have proven especially challenging in the field.   Using a combination of small group work, experiential exercises, and participatory lecture/discussions, facilitators guide learning about both the content of the SOP Guide and the leadership and team-building skills needed to facilitate development of a set of good quality standard operating procedures for prevention and response to gender-based violence in a particular setting.

The workshop is designed for inter-agency and multi-sectoral GBV teams working together at the local or country level and requires pre-workshop and post-workshop activities.

The compendium was developed by MEASURE Evaluation for managers, organizations, and policy makers working in the field of VAW/G program implementation and evaluation in developing countries, as well as for people who provide technical assistance to these individuals and organizations. Indicators were developed to measure the following areas within VAW/G:

1. Magnitude and characteristics of different forms of VAW/G (skewed sex rations, intimate partner violence, violence from someone other than an intimate partner, female genital cutting/mutilation and child marriage)
2. Programs addressing VAW/G by sector (health, education, justice/security, social welfare)
3. Under-documented forms of VAW/G and emerging areas (humanitarian emergencies, trafficking in persons, femicide), and preventing VAW/G (youth, community mobilization, working with men and boys).

The indicators have been designed to address information needs that can be assessed with quantitative methods to measure program performance and achievement at the community, regional and national levels. While many of the indicators have been used in the field, they have not necessarily been tested in multiple settings.  Published October 2008.
