A/HRC/16/34 E/CN.6/2011/9 multiple languages on “how to” design, implement, monitor and evaluate programmes, as well as over 700 recommended tools in more than 50 languages, with a fully searchable database. It draws on good practices, lessons learned and evaluations generated by Governments, civil society organizations, researchers and United Nations system agencies. To date, comprehensive programming modules have been made available (each on average 200-300 pages), covering: programming basics, monitoring and evaluation, safe cities, working with men and boys, and formulating legislation — with more advanced for launch in 2011, including on prevention, the health sector, the education sector and campaigns. Expanding data collection, analysis and tracking systems 49. Data collection and analysis is another area of UNIFEM-supported efforts, including to inform the development of effective public policies (e.g., in Guinea-Bissau and the Republic of Moldova) and to support the efforts of women’s networks in tracking progress (e.g., in Ecuador). Related to the launch of the Global Safe Cities Free of Violence against Women Programme (see para. 56 below), a joint research initiative in India was undertaken by the Department of Women and Child Development, Government of Delhi, Jagori, the UNIFEM South Asia Office and the United Nations Human Settlements Programme (UN-Habitat), to bring policy and public attention to the levels of sexual harassment and violence faced by women in public spaces in the city of New Delhi. Another study was commissioned on data- collection practices among selected agencies in South-East Europe, with a focus on domestic violence, with a view to developing a set of indicators to track the prevalence of violence against women and to monitor the institutional responses to violent crimes against women. Addressing sexual violence as a tactic of warfare 50. In 2010, UNIFEM began the second phase of a multi-country programme on community-based peacebuilding and prevention of sexual and gender-based violence, consisting of activities at the global level as well as in Haiti, Liberia, Timor-Leste, and Uganda. These included, for example, technical capacity-building of the police in those four countries — for example, trainings, the revision of curricula, the provision of material inputs such as vehicles and communication equipment so as to respond more effectively to violence against women, and brokering regular interaction and trust-building activities with women’s organizations, continued support for local community safety committees in Haiti, the development of a monitoring and tracking system for gender-based violence cases in Timor-Leste, and trainings of the judiciary on national jurisprudence on gender-based violence in Liberia, as well as projected expansion of the “peace hut model” as a good example of a women-led local protection strategy. 51. Under the umbrella of United Nations Action Against Sexual Violence in Conflict, now chaired by the new Special Representative of the Secretary-General on Sexual Violence in Conflict, UNIFEM has taken the lead on several activities: mainly (a) advocacy, via the 200,000 “Get crossed” campaign, a petition to “Say no to sexual violence in conflict”, and 26 Open Days on Women and Peace and Security, co-organized with UNDP, the Department of Political Affairs and the Department of Peacekeeping Operations, which culminated in a Global Open Day in which women activists had a chance to present their demands, priorities and recommendations to the United Nations leadership in their countries; (b) the launch 10-67259 15
