A/HRC/13/71 E/CN.6/2010/8 Expanding data collection, analysis and tracking systems 47. The development of effective policies, legislation, services and systems to track progress depends on reliable data analysis and information. UNIFEM, in cooperation with Governments, civil society, United Nations sister agencies and other partners, works to strengthen qualitative and quantitative data collection and analysis. Examples include UNIFEM support for the establishment of data systems in Ngoma district in Rwanda, and UNIFEM efforts in Barbados, on domestic violence; and in Algeria, where a unified information system involves the ministries for Family, Health, and Development and Solidarity, in collaboration with the Gendarmerie Nationale, other police forces and shelters for women survivors of violence. In Georgia, UNIFEM and UNICEF carried out a post-conflict rapid assessment of internally displaced women and children, including victims of rape, sexual harassment and domestic violence. In the Occupied Palestinian Territory, a local partner was supported in conducting research on forced prostitution and human trafficking in order to raise awareness, improve survivor services and identify appropriate policy measures. UNIFEM and UNFPA, together with Statistics Sierra Leone, commissioned national research to support the tracking and reporting of cases of violence and to popularize the gender laws. In Asia, with the support of the Canadian International Development Agency, UNIFEM published a regional analysis of domestic violence legislation drawing on a meeting held by the Association of Southeast Asian Nations on international standards and good practice. Addressing sexual violence as a tactic of warfare 48. UNIFEM plays a key advocacy role in promoting the implementation of Security Council resolutions 1325 (2000) and 1820 (2008), in partnership with various stakeholders, and continues to serve as the secretariat for United Nations Action against Sexual Violence in Conflict, a coalition of 12 United Nations organizations. Ongoing work with UNFPA and the Office of the Special Adviser on Gender Issues and Advancement of Women (OSAGI) is supporting the generation of global and nationally relevant indicators for the implementation of those resolutions. With UNDP, the Department of Political Affairs, the Department of Peacekeeping Operations (DPKO) and OCHA, UNIFEM, on behalf of United Nations Action and in partnership with the Centre for Humanitarian Dialogue, organized a colloquium entitled “Conflict-Related Sexual Violence and Peace Negotiations: Implementing Security Council Resolution 1820” for mediators, subject experts and women’s rights advocates, aimed at ensuring that conflict-related sexual violence is addressed in mediation processes. Many of the recommendations emerging from the colloquium were reflected in Security Council resolution 1888 (2009), in which the Council mandates peacekeeping missions to protect women and girls from sexual violence in armed conflict. The Fund’s analytical inventory of responses made by peacekeeping personnel to war-related violence against women has been taken up by DPKO for incorporation into the guidance to be provided for United Nations commanders on the prevention of conflict-related sexual and gender-based violence. 49. At the national level, UNIFEM works to advance the implementation of these resolutions by, among other things, supporting the development of national action plans. For example, in Nepal, UNIFEM and UNFPA supported the Ministry of Peace and Reconstruction and the National Women’s Commission in developing action plans and training on the implementation of resolutions 1325 (2000) and 1820 16 09-65802
