High quality of programme through knowledge, innovation, results-based management and evaluation

UN Women conducted a strategic review of the largest area of work focusing on EVAW. This strategic review clearly demonstrates that UN Women has played a central role in addressing VAW in BiH since its establishment. It has evolved from a potential competitor with CSO to a crucial partner and technical leader in this field. The government, especially the Gender Centers, have acknowledged the important role that UN Women has played in building their capacity and supporting their work. UN Women has also contributed to the building of capacities in other government sectors, such as the police and, to a lesser degree, the health sector Another important role that CSOs see in the UN Women is the support with the information and service access through one stop shops, that may include, referrals and long-term support through rape crisis centers. UN Women can play a role here in funding programs that do that and generating evidence of how they work, or potentially by influencing the government to make important steps in this area of work. Funding for CSOs, particularly those in charge of key areas of VAW response (such as shelters), need to be improved and they see UN Women as an organization who can helped them advocate for more sustainable support from the government. Longer term, more dependable funding is needed, especially for providers of key services. Many CSOs are covering the costs of this work that has public benefits themselves, this is not sustainable, and CSOs believe that UN Women could play a significant role in overcoming the problem with fundings.
