The Gender Standby Capacity Project (GenCap) is an Inter-Agency Standing Committee (IASC) initiative that was established in 2007. Its mission is to strengthen inter-agency capacity and leadership to deliver on commitments to gender equality and women’s empowerment in humanitarian action.
Through the provision of expertise, guidance and tools, GenCap meets a widely recognized need for senior gender staff to support Resident Coordinators and Humanitarian Coordinators (RC/HCs) and Humanitarian Country Teams (HCTs) in their efforts to prioritize gender at the country level.
The main modalities used by GenCap in its work are:
