This course covers Gender and Gender Based Violence (GBV) Risk Mitigation integration in Education Cluster coordination and response – what it is, why it is important, and how to do it across all stages of the Humanitarian Programme Cycle (HPC). 

It includes many good practices and practical examples of what Education Clusters and other Education in Emergencies (EiE) actors are doing in many contexts to enhance girls’ and other at-risk groups’ safe access to education and to mitigate risks of GBV in the education response.

  • List concrete examples of Gender integration and GBV risk mitigation measures you can take at each phase of the Humanitarian Programme Cycle (HPC);
  • Know where to go to get guidance, tools and other support available to you on Gender integration and GBV Risk Mitigation by Education Clusters.
