The GBV AoR (Gender Based Violence Area of Responsibility) Information Management (Assessments
and Analysis) Specialist works as part of the GBV Coordination Team, in the UNFPA Humanitarian
Response Division of UNFPA, Geneva.
The GBV AoR Strategy 2021 – 2025 highlights that data and information management is a crucial part of
coordination and quality response and requires greater investment. Currently, there are significant gaps in
capacity for GBV assessments and analysis, which impacts the narrative of GBV and the integration of
GBV into the humanitarian system-wide response. There is a need for the GBV AoR to build up capacity
in line with IASC guidance and the expectation that lead agencies provide information management and
analysis capacity at the country level to support coordination capacity, enabling a stronger evidence base
for the GBV response.
The GBV assessments and analysis specialist will be working closely with the global GBV AoR
Information Management Analyst and support to develop assessments and analysis capacity within the
GBV AoR and provide direct technical support to GBV colleagues in the field with GBV specialized
assessments and analysis.
The GBV AoR has developed an advanced GBV analytical framework, to guide GBV field clusters in
secondary data reviews, analysis and assessment workstreams. There is a need for more quantitative
data collection and analysis, and the analytical framework will create the basis for field cluster analysis,
as a basis for inter-agency planning, to be used by GBV actors for a more evidence based response and
advocacy.
The GBV assessments and analysis specialist will mainly support the final stages, including revisions,
towards an agreed GBV Analytical Framework and toolkit, including the conceptual framework, analysis
plan, and guidance notes. Furthermore, s/he will be responsible for consolidating and reviewing existing
assessment tools and contributing to developing a set of operational tools and roll-out guidance to
support the application of the GBV analytical framework.
