(f) Common strategies across countries in which partners received grants are
emerging. In Cambodia, Cameroon, Ecuador, Jordan, the Republic of Moldova and
Tajikistan, grantees will scale up model centres for survivors of gender-based
violence. In Bosnia and Herzegovina, India, Nepal and the former Yugoslav
Republic of Macedonia, grantees will scale up models of multisectoral responses for
survivors of gender-based violence. In the Pacific region (Cook Islands, Kiribati,
Solomon Islands, Tonga, Tuvalu, Vanuatu and others), and in Panama and Peru,
grantees will create and strengthen government and civil society partnerships to
address violence against women. In the Democratic Republic of the Congo and
Zambia, grantees will address impunity through raising awareness and developing
the capacities of the judiciary. In Ecuador, Lebanon and Liberia, grantees will
address prevention either by working with men and boys or promoting women’s
economic empowerment. In Jamaica and Nicaragua, grantees will harness the power
of the mass media and the arts to promote equitable and non-violent behaviours and
attitudes. In Cameroon, a grantee will address violence against girls in schools. In
Ethiopia, a grantee will mobilize communities against harmful practices. In
Suriname, a grantee will develop a model to address sexual harassment in the
workplace.
The way forward
27. As the United Nations Trust Fund approaches the end of its 2005-2008
strategy, an external evaluation is under way to assess its implementation at global
and country levels. The evaluation will identify strengths, weaknesses, challenges
and current trends and provide forward-looking recommendations for enhancing the
effectiveness of the role of the United Nations Trust Fund in ending violence against
women and girls. A new strategy for the United Nations Trust Fund will be
developed in 2009, based in part on the findings of the external evaluation.
28. The United Nations Trust Fund will continue to invest in strengthening its
systems for capacity development, monitoring and evaluation, and knowledge
management. United Nations Trust Fund grantees will be provided guidance and
skills-building to develop their capacities in evidence-based programme design,
monitoring and evaluation. Further, the United Nations Trust Fund will provide
adequate technical and financial support to grantees to systematically monitor and
evaluate initiatives, also fostering targeted learning and multi-country learning
initiatives.
29. The United Nations Trust Fund is investing in a robust online database system
that will serve both to collect and systematize findings, facilitating results-based
reporting and analysis across grants. By capturing, disseminating and making
learning from grantee reports and evaluations widely available, the United Nations
Trust Fund contributes to the global knowledge base on effective programme
approaches to ending violence against women and girls, generating and nurturing
new theories and practices, as well as lessons learned and models for scaling up. In
this way, the United Nations Trust Fund is uniquely placed to function as a global
observatory of emerging good practices, contributing to programming excellence,
maximization of results and efficient use of resources.
30. With a strong and bold strategy, greater political commitment and increased
resources, the United Nations Trust Fund will continue to work to make the vision
