IASC Gender Accountability Framework Report 2024 - 2028

Overview

The updated gender accountability framework (GAF) is based on a set of indicators designed to measure the compliance by the IASC at all levels with the standards, commitments and designated roles and responsibilities.  The framework will be utilized to create a published monitoring report for use at the global and national levels to ascertain compliance and to facilitate the creation of recommendations to improve results in subsequent monitoring cycles.

 This Accountability Framework seeks to minimize the burden of data collection on IASC Bodies and Members and Standing Invitees. It also does not duplicate data collection from other reporting systems but draws on existing data where applicable. The existing monitoring and reporting desk (‘Gender Desk’) will work with IASC Bodies in collecting the necessary data at the global level and at the country- level, with Gender in Humanitarian Action Working Groups and clusters. Progress against the priority areas will be made publicly available through a global dashboard that tracks the global and country-level implementation against this accountability framework. Moving towards a localized approach, there will be country-specific focus pages presenting key areas of progress and challenges enabling better use of the recommendations and findings to strengthen efforts in context- specific ways.
