The International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) uses the information it receives and handles in a number of different ways. Our reputation, and the effectiveness and efficiency of what we do, can be put at considerable risk if users – i.e. staff, contractors and third party suppliers authorised to access, handle or use IFRC information – fail to maintain proper standards and controls in the way they manage information security. This Policy sets out what users should and should not do, to: Implement adequate information security controls Ensure that the use of ICT resources is effective, efficient, and consistent with the Fundamental Principles of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement

In 2020 UNICEF and the IFRC launched a study to explore the extent of integration of gender considerations, including gender-based violence (GBV) risk mitigation, prevention and response considerations, in national and regional disaster risk management (DRM) legal and policy frameworks in Eastern and Southern Africa. This report provides an overview of the study's findings. It isbased on a desk review, consultations and key informant interviews on DRM legal and policy frameworks and their implementation in Ethiopia, Burundi, Kenya, Madagascar, Malawi, Mozambique, Somalia (including Puntland and Somaliland), South Sudan, Uganda, Zimbabwe, the African Union Commission (AUC), the East African Community (EAC), the Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD) and the Southern African Development Community (SADC).

This technical guide can be used by the IFRC and National Societies when designing and delivering programming to prevent or respond to child marriage, either in humanitarian settings or in longer-term development settings. It can also assist in developing protection, gender and inclusion (PGI) programming focused specifically on child marriage prevention or response.

This toolkit accompanies the IFRC Minimum standards on protection, gender and inclusions in emergencies (2018) and provides additional guidance to plan, implement and monitor those standards during an emergency response and recovery. It is not intended that all tools will be used in each emergency response, rather this is a compendium of tools, which can be drawn on and adapted when required. The toolkit is organized in 4 chapters: 1. Overview, 2. Planning and assessment, 3. Implementation and 4. Monitoring, evaluation and reporting.

Although it is increasingly recognized that gender-based violence (GBV) is a major feature of many conflicts, its occurrence during disasters is not as well understood. This study, commissioned by the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC), is designed to foster that discussion within both the Red Cross Red Crescent Movement and the larger humanitarian community. The research addresses three questions: What characterizes GBV in disasters? In what ways should legal and policy frameworks, including disaster risk management, be adapted to address GBV in disasters? How should National Societies and other local actors address GBV in disasters, and what support do they need to fulfil their roles?

This short leaflet provides a summary of the IFRC's Preparedness for Effective Response (PER) approach. It explains the key principles, phases and activities of the PER process.
