This document aims to address the increasing demand for clear guidance on how to practically and ethically monitor
and mitigate gender-based violence (GBV) within non-emergency, international development programming, in which
GBV is not a specific programmatic component. Specifically, it draws on existing GBV-related guidance, as well as input
from a group of experts, to provide recommendations for preventing and/or responding to unintentional risk, threat, or
violence against individuals related to programmatic interventions. These recommendations describe ways to take stock
of the programmatic environment with regard to GBV in general, as well as targeted suggestions on how to track GBVrelated incidents and issues throughout the program cycle.
