Fundraising Handbook for Child Protection and Gender Based Violence in Humanitarian Action

The global Gender Based Violence (GBV) and Child Protection Working Group (CPWG) areas of responsibilities (AoRs) have developed this handbook to provide practical guidance to child protection and GBV coordination groups and their members; with the aim of helping them access more humanitarian funding. 

The primary audience for this handbook is CP and GBV coordinators and coordination group members. It is not intended to be a programming or technical guide to humanitarian programming or coordination of coordination groups. Due to the swiftly evolving nature of the humanitarian world, some of the funding mechanisms and processes mentioned here might go out of date. It is therefore advisable to find up-to-date information on the relevant websites. The factors which influence how successful a sector is in raising funds are, however, less subject to change. In order to obtain funding, it will always be necessary to ensure strong CP and GBV programming, generate high quality proposals and make strong and convincing case for the investment. Guidance and advice in these areas will likely remain relevant for the foreseeable future and guarantee this handbook’s longevity.
