## What this is
The GB MIS is a national platform for tracking gender equality indicators and managing gender-based violence (GBV) cases across Liberia. It serves two distinct workloads in one coherent system:
1. **Aggregate indicator tracking** — the 22 minimum indicators agreed by MOGCSP plus the 48-indicator UN SDG minimum set, Beijing Platform for Action, CEDAW, Maputo Protocol, and AU Women Peace & Security framework metrics, sourced from authoritative ministries and national surveys.
2. **Case-level GBV management & livelihood beneficiary tracking** — survivor-centered case management, referral pathways, and tracking of LWEP beneficiaries across six counties (Bomi, Gbarpolu, Grand Cape Mount, Grand Gedeh, Rural Montserrado, River Cess).
The system is designed as a **locally-owned, source-code-controlled asset of MOGCSP** that will survive project closure (June 30, 2027).
