An accountable Gender Based Violence (GBV) humanitarian response system is about the way decisions are made and implemented. It places survivors, their families and those at high GBV risk at the centre of all operations. Being accountable while designing, implementing and monitoring GBV interventions means being inclusive, open and transparent, and oriented to engagement and empowerment of survivors and vulnerable communities in articulating their needs, enabling them to claim their entitlements and make decisions related to their well-being.
This document is dedicated to the concept of AAP applied to the GBV response in contingency planning and emergency operations.
In particular it:
- examines how the responsible authorities can plan and implement the accountable GBV prevention and response system for affected people
- looks at how life-saving information should be provided and communicated to survivors and those at high risk of GBV during and in the aftermath of emergencies.
- examines how GBV in emergencies (GBViE) programming can be designed with the participation of survivors, to meet their needs, respect their choices and take into account the outcomes of the community feedback and complaint redress mechanisms, including safeguards for protecting affected people from SEA.
