A/HRC/26/52 and design and implement policies and mechanisms for reparation, early warning and the refurbishment of basic social and economic infrastructure. 63. The Presidential Emergency Programme intervenes in emergency situations rapidly to restore specific public services to minimal levels and swiftly meet the basic needs of the affected population. 64. The Dialogue, Truth and Reconciliation Commission has, after holding national consultations from 1 January to 28 February 2013, entered the quantitative phase of its mandate and surveyed 48,561 individuals between 21 August and 21 September 2013. Nearly 30,000 people took part in an inclusive and interactive dialogue during the qualitative phase. Ivorians were thus able to express their views on this initial phase. Those surveyed were able to comment on what types of violations should be included and what forms reparation should take. The next steps will be crucial to the Commission’s consideration of the situation of victims and will consist of counselling for victims, awareness-raising, investigations and public hearings. 2. Efforts by non-State actors 65. In order to assist women victims of the crisis, UN-Women, the International Rescue Committee, the Association des Femmes Juristes de Côte d’Ivoire (the Association of Women Lawyers of Côte d’Ivoire) and the West Africa Network for Peacebuilding – Côte d’Ivoire, with the support of the European Union, have launched a project to restore the rights of women victims of sexual violence committed during the post-election crisis with a view to ensuring that 70 victims who have not received any assistance are provided with medical, psychosocial and legal support. Thanks to the project, these women have received legal and psychological assistance. Five “peace huts” have been set up in Abobo, Yopougon, Duékoué, Danané and Man, where the population can learn about gender-based violence and women’s rights. Two projects for the economic empowerment of women are under way in these areas, benefiting 800 women, including victims of violence, war widows, female heads of households, displaced women and returnees. E. 1. Barriers to reparation for victims Dispersal of State resources for victim assistance 66. The various statements and presentations made during the February 2014 international conference revealed that State expenditure on victims is widely dispersed. More than six public institutions overlap in this area and their efforts do not necessarily match victims’ expectations. The competitiveness stemming from their various responsibilities potentially hinders and dilutes their efforts, whereas a balanced policy, carefully crafted and coordinated by a central body, would have enabled the State to rationalize its already meagre resources and ensure that its efforts had a greater impact. The various statements made by the institutions responsible for victims also revealed the absence of institutional partnership which would allow them to draw on each other’s mandates and activities in order to build greater synergy. The multiplicity of bodies confuses and discourages victims, who are faced with several points of contact and multiple registration systems. 67. Furthermore, the various State and non-State projects do not always have a noticeable impact because they are sporadic and fragmented. Hence the need for an authentic programme of action for victims together with measurable qualitative and quantitative objectives, reliable and sufficient resources, an oversight and assessment mechanism and a specific time frame in order to transform victims from beneficiaries into 14 GE.14-02949
