Inter-agency collaboration
65. Most of the efforts and programmes highlighted above are rooted in partnerships
with a range of stakeholders from government, civil society, the women’s movement,
experts and researchers, and include United Nations inter-agency collaboration.
66. UNIFEM continues to play a key role in United Nations country team joint
efforts and programmes to address violence against women in many countries,
including in its role as chair and co-chair of gender theme groups; and as partner or
lead agency of United Nations country team programmes (including those dedicated
to addressing violence against women under the Millennium Development Goals
Achievement Fund in Bangladesh, Colombia and Morocco).
67. At the Headquarters level, UNIFEM continues to serve as founding and active
member of United Nations Action against Sexual Violence in Conflict; the
Inter-Agency Standing Committee Sub-Working Group on Gender and
Humanitarian Response; the Task Force on Violence against Women, established
within the Inter-Agency Network on Gender Equality (including as an implementing
partner of the United Nations country team pilot programmes at the country levels);
and as a member of the Working Group of the Secretary-General’s UNiTE campaign
and the High-Level Steering Committee, chaired by the Deputy Secretary-General.
At the regional level, for example, in addition to its key role in the roll-out of the
Secretary-General’s UNiTE campaign, it also collaborates with UNDP, UNFPA and
United Nations Volunteers in the Asia-Pacific Regional Joint Programme entitled
“Partners for prevention: working with boys and men to prevent gender-based
violence”.
