A/HRC/16/34 E/CN.6/2011/9 based in eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo, receives support from the Fund to address impunity for sexual violence emerging from the country’s decades-long conflict. Through a mobile courts system that holds trials for sexual violence cases in rural communities, SOFEPADI has successfully reduced the backlog of cases and encouraged more victims to file complaints. Over 150 cases have been filed to date, of which 70 resulted in convictions. In recognition of the achievements of SOFEPADI in bringing justice to victims and restoring public confidence in the rule of law in eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo, the Government of France is sustaining the project with funding for three mobile courts. IV. Building new partnerships, ownership and expanded commitment 21. Violence against women cuts across all sectors, population groups and public and private spaces, requiring the engagement of multiple stakeholders. Securing the involvement of traditional and new actors is thus a hallmark of the United Nations Trust Fund’s strategy, centred on mobilizing broad-based partnerships and garnering support from an ever-growing range of actors including Member States, private and individual donors, non-governmental organizations and United Nations sister agencies. 22. The United Nations Trust Fund is founded on United Nations partnerships and working to increase ownership of the Fund across the United Nations system. A key platform to enhance these synergies is the Inter-Agency Programme Appraisal Committee comprised of United Nations system agencies at the global and subregional levels. This entity advises the Fund on strategic decisions and grantmaking issues. The Inter-Agency Programme Appraisal Committees at the subregional level in particular enables links to existing United Nations efforts and national priorities. This decentralized and broadly participatory structure ensures that funding allocations conform closely to the capacities and needs of diverse countries and regions, thereby promoting the overall relevance of the Fund to national priorities and context. 23. In 2010, the 13 Inter-Agency Programme Appraisal Committee members at the global and subregional levels included United Nations system agencies, representatives of other inter-agency mechanisms, and a leading civil society organization. Participating United Nations system agencies at the global and subregional levels in 2010 were: Division for the Advancement of Women; Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean; International Labour Organization (ILO); Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights; the Regional Commissions New York Office; UNIFEM; the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF); UNDP; the World Health Organization (WHO); and the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA). The Programme Appraisal Committee met a total of four times at the global and subregional levels to provide critical expertise and guidance in shaping the United Nations Trust Fund’s Strategic Plan for 2010-2015. 24. As part of “delivering as one”, grants to United Nations country teams since 2008 have established direct synergies with United Nations programmes at the country and subregional levels. To date, the United Nations Trust Fund has disbursed $10.6 million to country teams in 11 countries. The Fund also collaborates with other 8 10-67259
