UN agencies, including UNFPA and UN Women, have been continuously working  with the Government of Indonesia to integrate gender-responsive approaches into humanitarian actions. To promote the cause, UNFPA and UNWOMEN are delighted to share the Guideline for Gender Integration into Displacement and Protection Cluster. Developed based on global standards and through extensive consultations with frontline workers and stakeholders on needs unique to each population and the Indonesian landscape, it covers a step-by-step guide for humanitarian workers to integrate gender in every aspect of disaster management, including needs assessment, strategic planning, resource mobilization, implementation, and monitoring. To ensure practicality and usability, the document includes a set of recommended actions and gender checklists for each sub-cluster under the Protection cluster at pre-disaster, emergency response, and recovery phases. These guidelines can help improve the gender responsiveness of humanitarian action and disaster management in Indonesia, so that no one is left behind being taken into account during the response to COVID-19 pandemic and beyond.
