the Secretary-General’s campaign, through ongoing technical assistance, capacity
development, broadened advocacy and awareness-raising initiatives, strengthened
partnerships within and outside the United Nations system, improved monitoring
and evaluation of programming interventions, and the provision of new and
innovative learning and knowledge-sharing opportunities and products through its

country-level practitioners to implement policies and programmes.
