A/HRC/42/44 potential impact – or indeed based on heightened risk – is needed. According to one estimate, almost four fifths of slavery victims are located in just 20 countries,128 yet there has been no effort by the international community to focus spending or support towards those countries. Similarly, there is increased understanding of the link between conflict onset and vulnerability to slavery. Yet, no strategies are currently in place for ensuring that anti-slavery efforts are integrated into conflict response from the outset. 129 56. Nor is there a clear system for mobilizing stakeholders to act in a coordinated way to provide support to those countries, communities or sectors that the international community determines should be prioritized. As the Global Fund to End Modern Slavery argues, there is a need to “engage with governments to design [anti-slavery] strategies that are co-owned and co-founded and aligned with national priorities”. The Pathfinder initiative, which provides a framework for action by Alliance 8.7 stakeholders to support government efforts, organizes these partnerships through opting-in by States and other stakeholders. To date the Alliance has not developed any arrangements for developing a shared strategy for allocating limited resources among these partners, for identifying other potential Pathfinder countries based on potential impact or for ensuring that the resources mobilized are in fact used effectively to achieve progress. Given the commitments in the Call to Action to End Forced Labour, Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking, and the fact that endorsing countries represent 53 per cent of the global population, this may provide a useful additional forum for mobilizing such strategic discussions. 57. Fourth, anti-slavery efforts must become more sustainable, in the sense that they must be better integrated into broader efforts to achieve sustainable development. This is essential because action to inhibit the drivers of contemporary forms of slavery involves action to achieve other aspects of sustainable development: livelihoods (Sustainable Development Goal 1), improved access to education (Goal 4), gender equality (Goal 5), supply chain transformation and environmental protections (Goal 12) and stronger institutions (Goal 16).130 And these efforts will take on increased importance in the context of the socioeconomic transformations wrought by automation, climate change and demographic change. The connection with other Goals has the potential to address the socioeconomic drivers of the contemporary forms of slavery. In addition, the United Nations sustainable development system, notably United Nations country teams and regional economic commissions, offer the infrastructure, know-how and coordinating mechanisms for delivery of anti-slavery solutions at scale, through Government-owned action frameworks. Yet to date, anti-slavery issues have largely been an afterthought in the Organization’s development work. This could change: the Pathfinder initiative of Alliance 8.7 may yet offer a process for recipient and host countries to work with a broad array of expertise and resources, mobilized through the Alliance and delivered through United Nations country teams. But this will require greater engagement from a broader array of stakeholders and concerted, sustained and transparent efforts by Alliance 8.7 to harness the diversity of contributions which Alliance members can offer. 58. Fifth, anti-slavery efforts need to be more systematically survivor-informed. There have been important initiatives in some countries recently to focus on victim support and to put victim-support frameworks on a legislated footing, insulating them from political shifts and empowering survivors to participate more effectively in community life. 131 Yet gaps persist, especially around long-term support for survivors. 132 But more can be done to ensure that the full range of global, regional and national efforts benefit from the insights that survivors can bring to bear on programming and policy design and implementation. 128 129 130 131 132 Global Fund to End Modern Slavery submission, p. 1.
