What d d people have before the cr s s? • What did the population use before the displacement (e.g. cooking practices) and what fuel source was used? • What type of clothes did women and men wear? Are any specific clothing items essential for their daily needs? • What hygiene products do they use/need? • What mechanisms were instituted for distribution of life-sustaining items before the crisis? • How were women-headed households or destitute women households surviving/accessing NFIs before? ACTIonS To EnSurE GEndEr EquAlITy ProGrAmmInG In nFI dISTrIBuTIon Equal part c pat on • Ensure that women and men are involved in planning and implementation of the NFI distribution. Meet with them separately to ensure that power dynamics aren’t silencing women. • Make sure that both women and men know the quantity/variety of items they should receive, as well as the distribution methods, by using public information and notice/information boards clearly indicating entitlements to NFIs and distribution sites, dates and time. • Ensure that the design of the distribution system is based on a thorough understanding of the social structure of the affected population, including the information on groups that could be marginalized and neglected in distribution. G e n d e R A n d n o n - F o o d I T e m S I n e m e R G e n C I e S • Agree on the system of distribution, namely through group leadership — male and female leaders or through groups of heads of households or through individual heads of households — and ensure that the affected population is continuously informed on any changes in the system. • Make sure that distribution sites are easily accessible and safe and the distribution times are convenient for women and men of different age groups and backgrounds. • Ensure that specific needs of elderly persons, persons with disabilities and the chronically ill are addressed through community support and targeted distribution systems. • Make sure crowd controllers monitor queues, and provide a separate queue for specific persons and groups (such as those not able to stand in line for various reasons, e.g. elderly persons, persons with disabilities or pregnant women and other specific groups requiring assistance). • Ensure monitoring of distribution of NFIs is done both by agency staff and refugee community representatives. • Ensure mechanisms are instituted for women and men to file complaints regarding the non-receipt and unmet needs of NFIs. • Ensure that women and men are consulted as to what NFIs are culturally appropriate and familiar. Observ ng spec fic commun ty pract ces and cultural d fferences • Distribute appropriate sanitary and hygiene supplies for women, girls, boys and men. • Ensure that clothing is appropriate to climatic conditions and cultural practices, suitable for women, girls, boys and men, and sized according to age. • Make sure that bedding materials reflect cultural practices and are sufficient in quantity to enable separate sleeping arrangements as required among the members of individual households. • Ensure that cooking items provided are culturally appropriate and enable safe practices. • Ensure that existing local practices are taken into account in the specification of stove and fuel solutions.
Meet ng the needs of spec fic groups and persons • Ensure that there is no discrimination or restricted access to NFIs based on sex, age or abilities. • Ensure that distribution sites are in a secure area that is accessible to women and men, unaccompanied girls and boys, the elderly, sick and disabled. • Conduct regular consultations with women, girls, boys, elderly persons, chronically ill, persons with disabilities and groups with specific needs on NFI issues to address protection concerns. I A s c g e n D e r h A n D b o o k • Ensure that women are consulted about the location and means of collecting fuel for cooking and heating. • Ensure that the demands of collecting fuel on vulnerable groups, such as female-headed households and households caring for people living with HIV/AIDS, are addressed and that special provisions (such as the choice of less labour-intensive fuels, the use of fuel-efficient stoves and accessible fuel sources) are made available.
