The Competency Framework for Gender-Based Violence Coordination outlines the competencies required for those working as Coordinators in a GBV Area of Responsibility Coordination Mechanism. The framework has 20 competencies all of which are considered to be essential. These competencies are arranged into four groups: core, behavioural, functional and technical. The knowledge areas and skills that are listed with each competency are intended to support understanding of the scope of the competencies and behaviours. The list is indicative only and is not intended to be exhaustive.
