The GBV CASE MANAGEMENT OUTCOME MONITORING TOOLKIT aims to measure the impact of GBV case management on women and older adolescent girls’ psychosocial well-being and felt stigma.

The IRC has adapted this toolkit for use with women and older adolescent girls receiving GBV case management support from Somali and Syrian populations.
