Direct
Link to Full 61-Page 2015 Toolkit:
This Toolkit was developed to support implementation of the U.S.
Strategy to Prevent and Respond to Gender-based Violence Globally. It provides
guidance and resources for USAID technical and program officers
working on education to increase understanding of GBV in the
education context and strengthen integration of a gender-based violence (GBV)
response into projects and activities. Because reducing
school-related GBV is a high priority for USAID in all school
systems globally, this toolkit includes school-related GBV, but the
overall focus is GBV in the education context broadly.
The Toolkit provides:
·
The United States government definition of GBV and
USAID’s definition of school-related GBV
·
Explanation for why integrating GBV prevention and
response improves education outcomes, and the evidence on the prevalence
of GBV in the education sector
·
Guiding principles to ensure the well-being of those at risk
for, and survivors of, GBV
·
Illustrative GBV prevention and response activities by
the USAID Education Strategy Goals
·
Guidance on how to integrate GBV prevention and
response throughout the USAID Program Cycle to be able to monitor,
evaluate, learn, and adapt education projects and activities accordingly, and
it includes illustrative indicators for measuring GBV prevention and
response for each of the USAID Education Strategy goals.
