GENDER-BASED VIOLENCE
INFORMATION MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
• The GBVIMS was created by UNHCR, IRC and
UNFPA
• The GBVIMS global initiative is now governed by a
Steering Committee that includes UNFPA, IRC,
UNHCR, UNICEF and WHO
• IRC plays the role of ‘NGO Liaison’ on part of the
Steering Committee
GBVIMS OVERVIEW
The GBVIMS was created to:
• Address the prevailing issues in data management for
service providers (initially, mostly about quality – later,
more about ethics/safety)
• Help facilitate safe and ethical data sharing between
agencies to help inform the humanitarian community’s
response to GBV
GBVIMS PURPOSE
The GBVIMS was developed for:
• Service providers who deliver case management or health
services to GBV survivors in a humanitarian context.
• Agencies responsible for coordinating the humanitarian
response to GBV in humanitarian settings.
What the GBVIMS Can Do
• Allows service providers and coordination mechanisms to
better understand the GBV cases being reported
• Enables actors to safely & ethically share data
GBVIMS PURPOSE
•
•
•
•
Poor quality of data – comparing apples to oranges
Manual analysis of data – prone to errors
Casual approach to storing data
Sharing client data without their informed consent
or knowledge
• Sharing too much data (i.e. intake forms)
• Sharing identifying data
PERSISTENT PROBLEMS WITH GBV DATA
 Service provision must be available to GBV survivors if data is to be gathered from
them
 Survivor/incident data must be non-identifiable
 Survivor/incident data can only be shared with the informed consent of the client
 Client case files (i.e. intake or incident report forms) are only shared within the
context of a referral and with the consent of the survivor
 Client data must be protected at all times and only shared with those who are
authorized
 An agreement must be established in collaboration with service providers to
determine how data will be shared, protected, used and for what purpose –
before data is shared
EXAMPLES OF GOOD PRACTICE
THE GBVIMS CAN HELP ENSURE YOUR
ORGANIZATION ADHERES TO
GOOD PRACTICE
(AND GENERATES GREAT DATA!)
• NOT a case management tool – snapshot at
the time of report
• NOT to be used as a data collection outside
of the scope of service provision(i.e. by
researchers, surveyors or human rights
monitors)
• Does NOT generate prevalence data

Intake and Consent Form: collects information
from survivors and protects survivor’s control over
their information.
2
GBV Classification Tool: standardizes GBV
incidents making data easy to compile, compare,
and analyze.
3
Incident Recorder: an excel database designed
to gather corresponding information from the
intake form. The incident recorder automatically
generates data and allows for customized
analysis.

 Psychological/ Emotional Abuse
GBVIMS CLASSIFICATION TOOL
1. Did the reported incident involve penetration?
If yes  classify the incident as “Rape”.
If no  proceed to the next incident type.
2. Did the reported incident involve unwanted sexual
contact?
If yes  classify the incident as “Sexual Assault”.
If no  proceed to the next incident type
ETC.
GBVIMS CLASSIFICATION TOOL
A 41 year old widow’s home was claimed by her
husband’s family upon his death. She was beaten until
she collected a few belongings and left.

ASSESSMENT POINTS
THE INTAKE FORM
• Primary data collection tool - Collects all data necessary for the optimal
functioning of the Incident Recorder
• The order of the form and all categories match the data columns found in
the Incident Recorder, making data entry as easy as possible
• Limited fill-in-the-blank entry, to save time on data entry and avoid errors
(uses tick boxes)
• Systematized definitions and categories ensures a minimum data set
collected by all providers; some fields are customizable
• Needs to be securely stored
• Not to be shared except in the context of a referral and with the consent of
the survivor
KEY CHARACTERISTICS OF THE INTAKE FORM
Purpose of the Incident Recorder
• Safely stores standardized data (comparing
apples to apples)
• Facilitates data entry and analysis
• Enable sharing of quantifiable elements of
anonymous incident data
• Create aggregate statistics to determine
correlations between characteristics and
circumstances of GBV incidents
INCIDENT RECORDER
• Based in Microsoft Excel
• No learning new software programs
• If you have never used Excel before, you will
only need to learn a few easy commands to
use the Incident Recorder
• Easy to enter data
• Anonymizes data for safe sharing
• Is protected

• Key to Letting Data Flow
• Protocols clarify and enforce:
• what data will be shared
• for what purpose
• who compiles the data
• who has access the compiled statistics and for what
purpose
• All ethical and safety issues must be considered before
sharing data – including consent
INFORMATION SHARING PROTOCOL
• Website: www.gbvims.org
• Resources: User Guide, Rollout Guidelines,
Facilitator’s Guide, and Data Analysis ELearning Tool
• Minimum technical support available via the
GBV Steering Committee([email protected])
and Skype (gbvimshelp)
