A 2020 external meta-analysis of findings from 30 external evaluations found that projects working to strengthen the implementation of laws, policies and national action plans underscored that planning and focus were key to successful engagement strategies. It also identified the need to expand the focus to include building political will in relation to specific actions and the alignment of national legislative and policy frameworks with international standards. For example, in El Salvador, UN Trust Fund grantee Asamblea de Cooperación por la Paz, sought to ensure that women experience a better response to violence against women as a result of strengthened institutions, and the ability of Civil Society Organizations and Women’s Rights Organizations to demand accountability from the Government to implement existing laws. After receiving training on the law and available services, there was an increase in women who learned about and used available services.
