GBV CM-CBI: Capacity Building Initiative Strategy and Toolkit

In 2020, the GBVIMS Steering Committee developed a comprehensive Inter-Agency GBV Case Management Capacity Building Rollout Strategy And Toolkit, informed by lessons learned from all eight implementations of the GBV CM CBI led by the GBVIMS Global Team over four years. The Strategy and Toolkit is designed to act as a guide, or set of recommendations, for actors wishing to roll out the GBV Case Management Guidelines. Find the Strategy and Toolkit here:

GBV CM CBI Rollout Strategy Addendum for the Inclusion of Local Women’s Organizations

The 2020 GBV Case Management Capacity Building Initiative (CM CBI) Rollout Strategy outlines a recommended approach to building capacity in Gender-Based Violence (GBV) case management. Key insights from the 2020 CM CBI Periodic Review revealed that local women’s organizations (LWOs), who are integral to GBV service provision, were underrepresented in previous implementations. LWOs often operate in areas lacking formal GBV services and have high community trust, a critical factor in humanitarian settings.

The GBV CM CBI Rollout Strategy Addendum for the Inclusion of Local Women’s Organizations provides suggested adaptations to the 2020 Rollout Strategy to better prioritize the inclusion on local women’s organizations in the CM CBI process.
