A/HRC/44/3 E/CN.6/2020/8 V. The way ahead 50. The reviews and analyses undertaken in the latter part of the current strategic plan clearly indicate that the trust fund is playing an important role in filling a specific funding gap concerning small women-led organizations that are often at the forefront in reaching survivors of violence against women and girls. This is a key understanding that will inform the consultations to develop the trust fund ’s next strategic plan. It also appears to suggest that it could be useful to increase the number of small grants, as those are more likely to respond to the needs of such organizations, and focus on providing a larger number of small grants rather than increasing the total amount awarded in grants. Such an approach would reflect the growing body of evidence that this is a particularly effective way to bring about sustainable change and prevent and end violence against women and girls. It also highlights what grantees particularly value in the way in which the trust fund interacts with them, namely its ongoing support in terms of methodology, programming and organizational capacity -building; training on aspects such as monitoring and evaluation and project development; the bringing together of diverse experiences and evidence about what works; and its role as a source of information and expertise that grantees can access. In short, this encourages the trust fund to strengthen its pursuit of its vision of being, in the words of its grantees, “more than just a donor”. 19-21597 15/15
