Advocacy Note: Meeting the Commitment to the Call to Action in the Humanitarian Programme Cycle - Call to Action 2020
Reviews of recent HNOs and HRPs capture progress, but also highlight some serious gaps that continue to stand in the way of a response that effectively addresses gender-based violence and is fully accountable to women and girls.
As Call to Action partners, we have both the opportunity and obligation to address these systemic issues in humanitarian planning processes. Below are a set of priority recommendations for humanitarian leadership and implementing agencies; these should also be supported by Call to Action donors in their advocacy.
