The GBVIMS Steering Committee has put together a series of video shorts and podcasts on remote GBV case management in the context of the COVID-19 response.
The series is aimed at supporting GBV caseworkers and supervisors to adapt their service provision in the context of governmental policies imposed in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, such as movement restrictions, confinement, lockdown or other containment strategies. In many cases, GBV service providing organizations will have to shift their service provision to remote home-based case management over the phone (e.g. hotlines). Such a shift in the modalities of service delivery requires considerable adaptation for different areas of service provision.

The GBVIMS technical team discusses how COVID-19-related restrictions and lockdowns impact the GBVIMS and case management data collection and storage. In addition, we discuss how our new digital platform, Primero/GBVIMS+, can allow service providers to continue delivering lifesaving case management services to GBV survivors. The podcast can be found here.
