A/HRC/32/3 E/CN.6/2016/8 which they operate. However, community engagement, awareness -raising and education campaigns are strong themes running through the range of programmes for addressing the structural and underlying causes and risk factors so as to prevent violence against women and girls and effect sustainable change. III. Setting a course for the future 11. A fundamental premise at the core of the Trust Fund ’s mission is that ensuring freedom from violence is inseparable from improving the life chances, choices and opportunities available to all women and girls and empowering them to pursue such opportunities. Therefore, the Trust Fund centres its work within the framework of intersectionality and the existing obligations of States under international and national law. In that context, the newly agreed Sustainable Development Goals provide a platform and umbrella for the Trust Fund’s strategic vision. 12. The Trust Fund has set the course for its future work with the adoption of its new strategic plan, 2015-2020. The plan was developed in consultation with Trust Fund donors and grantees, Member States, members of civil society organizations, experts on the issue of violence against women and girls and members of the Trust Fund’s Programme Advisory Committee. 13. The key focus areas that will guide Trust Fund interventions are: providing multisectoral services for survivors, paying particular attention to the needs of underserved women and girls; prevention, with a specific focus on formal education; changing social norms, beliefs and attitudes, with a specific focus on actively engaging men and young people; proactively using advances in technology; disseminating and publicizing lessons learned by building a global evidence hub based on the evaluated results of Trust Fund grantees; ensuring that supported programmes focus on delivering sustainable and impact-oriented results; and advocating for increased global giving in order to fund programmes that address violence against women and girls. 14. In line with its aim of securing concrete and sustainable results, the Trust Fund will look to award larger and longer-term grants that allow projects to be implemented and evaluated adequately. Where the evidence suggests that specific results could provide a model that can be replicated elsewhere, the Trust Fund may consider directly reinvesting in those projects. Those grantees invited to submit a second proposal, for a further funding cycle, will be selected on the basis of specific, measurable criteria, including evidence of specific results achieved, sustainability, the potential for replication and the use of innovative methodologies and approaches. The work of identifying existing grantees who fulfil those criteria has already begun. 15. The Trust Fund has increased its investment in improving the monitoring and evaluation capacity of its grantees. A central focus of the new strategic plan is to enhance evaluation capacity- and evidence-building in order not only to strengthen accountability, but also to harness the global community of practice represented by Trust Fund grantees in support of evidence-based programming. Such measures as creating spaces to collate, analyse and present Trust Fund findings and further developing the Trust Fund’s interactive online grant management system will form part of the operationalization of the plan. 4/17 15-22220
