    International Planned Parenthood Federation (IPPF) underwent an extensive process in developing a Gender Equality Strategy, based on the conceptual framework around the gender-equality continuum as a management tool, ecological model and life course approach. This process informed the development of the Gender and Inclusion Guidance Note which focuses on gender-responsive programming and the inclusion of persons with disabilities and sexual and gender minorities. These values are in line with the  IPPF strategic framework, as well as the overall Humanitarian Strategy. Connected to this will be a SoP system developed for Member Associations on national level, Regional Offices and Humanitarian Hub. This includes a robust safety and security system for deployable staff.
