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 GBV Standard Operating Procedures Guide (SOP Guide) was published by the IASC Sub-Working Group on Gender and Humanitarian Action in 2008. The guide includes detailed guidance on the process of developing referral systems and other procedures for GBV prevention and response in humanitarian emergency settings. The guide emphasizes the importance of a collaborative and participatory process for developing the procedures and agreements contained in a SOP document. (The Guide can be downloaded at www.gbvnetwork.org on the "Essential Tools and Resources" page.
The GBV SOP Workshop Package was developed by the Gender-based Violence Area of Responsibility Global Working Group (GBV AOR) in the Global Protection Cluster. Development of these materials was a collaborative process jointly led by UNHCR’s Community Development, Gender Equality and Children Section and UNFPA’s Humanitarian Response Branch.
