Toolkit For Integrating Gender-Based Violence Prevention And Response Into Education Projects  

This toolkit offers guiding principles, evidence-based approaches, and resources to guide USAID technical and program officers working on education to integrate GBV prevention and response throughout the USAID Program Cycle, with particular focus on project design and implementation, monitoring, and evaluation. While the toolkit focuses on education projects, and includes school-related gender-based violence (SRGBV), approaches to preventing and responding to GBV should be holistic, multi-sectoral (e.g., police, clinics, communities), cross-sectoral (e.g., health, democracy and governance), and engage various stakeholders in order to achieve sustained and effective development results. GBV prevention and response should be integrated as underlying factors that enable full participation of those who have experienced GBV, provide opportunities to improve lives, and mitigate against unintended consequences.
