The aim of this paper is to map and critically analyse evidence of good practice in prevention and response to gender-based violence (GBV) in humanitarian contexts which can support humanitarian practitioners and policy makers to improve the quality of GBV programming in the field. The paper is stru...ctured as follows. Following a brief discussion of key concepts and definitions in relation to GBV, Chapter 2 presents an overview of the extent of GBV in emergencies, and some of the challenges in responding to the problem. Chapter 3 then analyses some of the literature on the evidence of GBV programming effects in humanitarian settings, and draws out key lessons with regard to good practice. Chapter 4 discusses some of the key issues emerging from this review, and Chapter 5 concludes the paper with a discussion of the implications of the findings for research, policy and programming on GBV.

Cette mission menée conjointement par la représentante du Ministère de la Santé en charge du projet, la
responsable EVIPNet de l’OMS à Genève et le directeur de la fondation Winds of Hope visait à établir le lien entre
le Ministère de la Santé et les différentes parties prenantes du B...urkina Faso en charge de la prévention et de
prise en charge du noma, notamment les ONG : Sentinelles, Persis et Hymne aux Enfants. En effet, le Ministère
de la Santé du Burkina Faso a décidé d’écrire une note de politique (policy brief) sur cette maladie négligée non
transmissible qu’est le noma pour provoquer un dialogue politique (forum délibératif) devant déboucher sur des
actions politiques concrètes. Cette maladie, symbole des ravages de l’extrême pauvreté, affecte les zones les
plus isolées et pauvres du Burkina Faso. Cette initiative du Ministère de la Santé du Burkina Faso qui a acquis
maintenant une grande expérience dans l’écriture de notes de politique et dans l’organisation de dialogues
politiques est une démarche concrète et significative pour adresser les inégalités sociales et l’extrême pauvreté.
