UN Action was established in March 2007 and is a network of 13 United Nations entities to provide system wide coordination on prevention and response to conflict-related sexual violence. This Review was conducted over the period July 2012–January 2013. The Inception Report of July 2012 converted the key Review Questions into 8 areas of enquiry for the research phase: Global mobilisation and policy change related to CRSV; Organisational evolution and effectiveness; Implementing the 3 Pillars of UN Action (advocating for action; country level action; knowledge generation); Comparative analysis with other mechanisms for system-wide coordination; Country-level mobilisation and change related to CRSV; Focus and performance of the MPTF; NGO Engagement; and, the future strategic direction of UN Action (a cross-cutting issue).
UN Action Against Sexual Violence in Conflict unites the work of the UN system with the goal of ending sexual violence during and in the aftermath of armed conflict and to improve coordination and accountability, amplify advocacy, and support country efforts to prevent sexual violence and respond more effectively to the needs of survivors
