Gender Accountability Framework Report 2020

Gender accountability framework report 2020

Publication year: 2021

The 2020 gender accountability framework report marks the third monitoring cycle of the Inter-Agency Standing Committee (IASC)’s 2017 gender equality and the empowerment of women and girls in humanitarian action policy. It provides a snapshot of the IASC’s output in the calendar year 2020 and allows for cross comparison with the baseline established with the 2018 report and the subsequent 2019 report.

This report also captures how the IASC adapted its efforts during the COVID-19 pandemic and to what extent these efforts corresponded to the compounded impact on women and girls.

The 2020 report shows that progress at the global-level in integrating gender priorities among the activities of IASC entities was inconsistent. Some entities demonstrated greater focus on gender while attention to gender dropped in others. Despite mixed progress at the global-level, there was improvement across most priority areas in the implementation of the gender policy at the field-level.
