NRC’s Potential for Programming on Gender-based Violence (GBV)

Review: NRC’s Potential for Programming on Gender-based Violence (GBV)

NRC is considering becoming more involved in gender-based violence programming due to the particular vulnerabilities and risks faced by NRC’s beneficiaries. In order to make an informed and strategic decision on whether or not, and how, NRC should engage in GBV programming, further research and thinking is required to provide guidance on where NRC could add value. The main purpose of this review is to assist NRC in making a decision on its future engagement in GBV. The review will provide recommendations on the following:

a) Should NRC engage in GBV and develop a new area of programming or does NRC not have any added value, i.e. should NRC discontinue all involvement in this area? b) If a certain level of engagement is recommended, should NRC focus on GBV prevention through its existing programmes and activities and/or through advocacy efforts? Or should NRC develop a stand-alone programme capacity? c) If it is recommended that NRC develop a full-fledged programme competence on GBV, which activities should be part of this Core Competency and which should not? Where does NRC draw its limits. It is important that NRC’s limitations be identified. d) Which potential donors and funding sources might support development and implementation of GBV programmes?

The review should outline the consequences of the above, i.e. what investments in terms of financial and human resources would be required to meet the recommendations in an appropriate manner and what NRC’s ambition level should be. The recommendations will be presented to NRC’s Senior Management Group and form the basis for a strategic programming decision for the organisation.
