To support those using the Gender-Based Violence Prevention Evaluation Framework (GBV PEF), InterAction is providing several opportunities to access technical support, including new workshops and webinars on outcome-oriented methods.
Anyone can use the GBV PEF—we invite you to join the movement!
HOW TO GET STARTED
Not sure where to begin? While the framework is a series of 4 independent modules, there is a benefit to initially reading and understanding the framework in its entirety. For example, the relationship between strong project design and good monitoring and evaluation cannot be over-stated; a well-constructed Theory of Change (covered in Module 2) will support a well-designed set of monitoring indicators (covered in Module 3). After you are familiar with all the modules, you can assess what would make most sense for your organization and program/project given available resources and interest.
The modular design allows you to start where you are and integrate whichever pieces of the GBV PEF will help you better analyze, design, and measure programming so you can ultimately evaluate whether GBV was prevented. As you’re getting familiar with the GBV PEF, explore the following opportunities for support.
USE THE GBV PEF OUTCOME MEASUREMENT CHECKLIST
Another helpful tool is the GBV Outcome Measurement Checklist newly published with the 2nd edition. This is a short, practical checklist for organisations working to prevent GBV in crisis-affected communities.
LEARN MORE THROUGH A CASE STUDY Expand All
In this case study, we explore how outcome-oriented methods such as results journals and outcome harvesting can contribute to reduced protection risks.
Case ExampleThis case study offers insight into ICRC’s Prevention of Sexual Violence Programme, which uses the methods outlined in the GBV PEF to build context-specific theories of change and reduce the risk of sexual violence in humanitarian settings.
Case ExampleIn this case study, you’ll learn about how the Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC) developed its Civilian Self-Protection program to support civilians to disrupt patterns of violence, coercion, and deliberate deprivation, using the methods described in the GBV PEF as innovative ways to monitor and evaluate prevention outcomes.
Case ExampleThis case study explores how the Danish Refugee Council (DRC) used results journals—a straightforward and intuitive approach described in the GBV PEF—to measure the impact of a GBV prevention program with refugee and host communities in Jordan and Lebanon.
Case ExampleIn this example, you’ll learn more about how Equal Access International used the GBV PEF to operationalize outcome harvesting in their monitoring and evaluation framework for a civilian security program in northern Nigeria.
Case ExampleThis resource provides an easy-to-use tool to apply the risk equation to better understand the GBV risks that people face.
ResourceThis infographic offers an accessible look at what it means to actively involve communities affected by humanitarian crises in processes to reduce GBV risks. Intentional collaboration ensures strategies reflect community priorities and GBV risk reduction pathways.
ResourcePARTICIPATE IN A WORKSHOP SERIES
In 2022, InterAction facilitated a series of workshops on enhancing the ability to achieve GBV prevention and protection outcomes. Each workshop offered a deeper deep into one of the methodologies within the GBV PEF. The first workshops on the Outcome Harvesting Methodology were held in December 2021 and January 2022. This workshop introduced and built the capacity of participants in this new outcome-oriented method aimed at measuring GBV and protection outcomes. Another workshop was held on Proxy Indicators in March 2022. Recordings of the workshops are below.
As part of the re-launch of the 2nd edition of the GBV PEF, additional workshops and webinars will be held in 2026. Sign up to receive our Results-Based Protection Digests to stay up-to-date on the latest offerings.
