Review Toolkit vs GBV Minimum Standards

The Review Toolkit is the first mobile application specifically designed by the United Nations to make knowledge sharing methodology accessible to all military and police personnel, training centres and academies. Users can capture, analyse, review the successes, innovations and challenges from their operational experiences, to improve and optimize training, preparation and support of their future deployments. All successes and failures offer vital opportunities to learn and improve. At all levels of any organization there is a responsibility to come together and share experiences and lessons learned. This is especially critical in complex and rapidly evolving operational environments, including United Nations peacekeeping operations. The good practices and lessons developed by those previously deployed are essential not only to training and preparation, but also to the development and implementation of tactics, techniques and procedures of future military contingent and formed police unit (FPU) personnel.. The Review Toolkit is an effective, secure and user-friendly way to optimize your knowledge sharing practices and can complement existing information-sharing systems; it will serve as a blueprint for systems that are yet to be developed. The Review Toolkit is produced by the United Nations Light Coordination Mechanism (LCM) of the United Nations Department of Peace Operations (DPO) with the support of the United Nations Department of Operational Support (DOS) and the Department of Global Communications (DGC).

The GBV Minimum Standards mobile app presents 16 Minimum Standards for the prevention of and response to gender-based violence in emergencies. As a whole, the 16 Minimum Standards define what agencies working on specialized gender-based violence programming need to achieve to prevent and respond to gender-based violence, and deliver multisectoral services. The objective of the Minimum Standards is to establish a common understanding of what constitutes minimum prevention and response programming in emergencies. Each Standard in this resource represents a common agreement on what needs to be achieved for that specific programmatic element to be of adequate quality. The standards are universal; they are relevant for all emergency contexts. The GBV Minimum Standards app is a companion to the 2019 Inter-Agency Minimum Standards for Gender-Based Violence in Emergencies Programming.
