A/HRC/10/43 E/CN.6/2009/10 (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 12 08-66140
