Introduction to GBA Plus
Applying GBA Plus by function
For policy development

Some considerations:
- During and after emergencies, groups of people are affected differently, and have both diverse needs and diverse strengths.
- Who is consulted during the development process has implications for the recommended options for implementation.
- Failure to consider the full range of needs could have serious impacts on the availability of emergency resources.
Strategies:
- Ensure you are including a range of stakeholders and considering a variety of factors.
- Acknowledge gender roles and create specific mitigation strategies to respond to key groups.
- Capitalize on the strengths of different groups. For example, women often have unique/important roles as caregivers of both family and the community during disasters. It is important to acknowledge and consider this reality without exploiting and reinforcing gender inequality.
