“Funding for GBV Remains Unacceptably Low”

Gender-Based Violence (GBV) is a global crisis that costs countries an estimated 3.7% of their GDP (World Bank, 2024). However, recent ICGBV research reveals that funding for GBV interventions still makes up less than 0.68% of total humanitarian funding and less than 1% of overseas development aid — critical gaps that need to be addressed. This thought-provoking presentation and interactive discussion delves into:

• Key findings on the current state of GBV funding
• Leading platforms for tracking GBV funding flows
• Emerging opportunities for mobilising new resources to address GBV

The webinar is anchored by insights from the ICGBV-funded research “Tracking the Money Towards Ending Gender-Based Violence” by researcher Elizabeth N. Dettori. Elizabeth is an International Public Policy & Gender Development Professional and former Senior Advisor, UNICEF Executive Office.
