NEW YORK/GENEVA/ROME, 12 January 2024 – The crises gripping the Central Sahel are exacerbating humanitarian and protection needs and threatening to reverse development gains. In 2024, some 17 million people in Burkina Faso, Mali and Niger need humanitarian assistance and protection – or about one fifth of the population.[1] This crisis also disproportionately affects women and girls, worsening gender inequalities in the region.

IASC Gender Accountability Framework (GAF) Report for 2022 provides a snapshot of the IASC’s gender outputs and allows for cross comparison with previous years. The document benefited from inputs provided by UN Women and OCHA offices operating in 29 crisis contexts, the highest response rate to date. The improvement in quantity and quality of responses suggests that there is growing awareness of and familiarity with the IASC Gender Policy and overall stronger prioritization of gender by the humanitarian sector.

It also considers some of the challenges and gaps that operations face with the implementation of CoP, as revealed through consultations and surveys.
