SIG Key ‘Gender’ Commitments National Commitments • SIG Policy Statement 2010 • National Development Strategy 2011-2015 • SI National Policy on Gender Equality and Women’s Development (2010) • SI National Policy on Eliminating Violence Against Women • Permanent Secretaries Performance Agreement (2013) International & Regional Commitments • CEDAW & CRC • MDGs • Beijing Platform for Action • Pacific Platform for Action • Pacific Leaders Gender Equality Declaration Etc.
Challenges • Commitments not seen as a whole of government responsibility but rather that of the Ministry of Women Youth Children & Family Affairs • National Commitments’ lack of clear M & E frameworks (baseline, targets, indicators) • Lack of proper management of a systematic reporting mechanism in place result in duplicity in reporting task • Raw Data – no analysis • Lack of capacity to do ‘gender’ – technical capacity, resources etc
Achievements • PS’s Performance Contract (New Term) – appointments of Gender Focal Points (GFPs) • More Sectoral awareness on gender • Institutionalising the concept of GFP (in the process)
