  4. What is a set of Standard Operating Procedures? • SOP Guide, Page 3: Standard operating procedures are specific procedures and agreements among organisations that reflect the plan of action and individual organisations’ roles and responsibilities.

  7. The process itself can be considered an intervention, in that it engages all of the relevant actors and will involve collaboration, inter-organizational and inter-sectoral dialogue, community participation, negotiation, and thereby increase all participants’ understanding of how to prevent and respond to gender-based violence.
