The IASC Gender Accountability Framework Report 2023

The 2023 IASC Gender Accountability Framework Report is a product of the Inter-Agency Standing Committee’s Reference Group for Gender in Humanitarian Action (GRG).
 

As per provisions endorsed by the Inter-Agency Standing Committee (IASC) in its 2017 Gender Policy, the Gender Desk within the IASC Gender Reference Group (GRG) was tasked with leading the requisite data collection, consolidation, and synthesis to fulfill the reporting requirements of the Gender Accountability Framework which accompanies the Gender Policy. The Gender Desk is hosted by UN Women on behalf of the GRG and a dedicated Working Group comprising of ACF-France, CARE International, the IASC Gender Capacity Standby Project, the IASC Secretariat, iMMAP Inc., IMPACT Initiatives, OCHA, Oxfam, Plan International, UNDP, UNFPA, WFP, and WHO supported the Gender Desk in the review of nearly 80 documents. In addition to the desk-review component, survey responses submitted by UN Women and OCHA country offices on behalf of the humanitarian coordination mechanisms from across 26 crisis contexts were also reviewed by the Gender Desk.
 

The development of this report was supported by funding from the German Federal Foreign Office (GFFO). The Gender Desk expresses its sincere gratitude to all stakeholders who generously contributed their expertise and resources towards this exercise.
