Welcome to Gender and GBV risk mitigation in Education Cluster coordination and response.
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.
