The Irish Consortium on Gender-Based Violence (ICGBV) believes in a world without fear of violence against women and girls. It is comprised of 14 organisations: 12 International NGOs, Irish Aid, and the Irish Defence forces.
Established in 2005 as a response to reports of ongoing and systematic sexual violence against women and girls in the Darfur Region of Sudan, we work together to increase knowledge and understanding of violence against women and girls, and to ensure high-quality programming and policy responses, in both Humanitarian and Development settings. We also build leadership to support our shared vision of a world free from gender-based violence.
As part of the ICGBV 2021-2026 Strategic Plan, Strategic Priority 2: Advance Gender Based Violence Risk Mitigation within Humanitarian and Development Work, the ICGBV will be hosting a training on how to best conduct monitoring, evaluation, accountability, and learning (MEAL) in relation to Gender-Based Violence.
