Gender-based violence rises sharply in crises, yet GBV programming remains under-prioritised and technically demanding to lead well. This advanced programme equips senior practitioners to design, lead, and coordinate quality GBV prevention, risk mitigation, and response in emergencies, grounded in survivor-centred principles and inter-agency standards.
Designed for an international audience from officer to director level, the programme addresses GBV coordination, multi-sectoral response, GBV risk mitigation across sectors, case management and safe referral, and the ethical and safety imperatives that govern all GBV work. Participants learn to lead programming that is principled, survivor-centred, and accountable.
