Monitoring and evaluation framework: year-3 implementation plan
Preventing and responding to sexual misconduct: WHO’s three-year strategy 2023–2025
Overview
WHO’s Three-year strategy for Preventing and Responding to sexual misconduct was launched in 2023 and form the basis of institutionalization of core measures to address sexual misconduct across the Organization.
During year one (2023), 82% of the planned actions were completed and the rest incorporated into this document. Year one witnessed the establishment of a strong policy framework with accompanying processes and standards, the shift to a risk-based and victim and survivor-centered approach, massive scale up of workforce engagement and capacity building, and tangible improvements in the overall culture to prevent and respond to sexual misconduct by our personnel.
The year two (2024), 83% of the planned actions were completed and those ongoing were incorporated into this document.
The indicators and targets have been updated accordingly to reflect the journey towards making zero tolerance for sexual misconduct, for inaction against it and for retaliation against those who report a reality.
As for the previous year, the output monitoring, with indicators and targets, is integrated into Year 3 of the implementation plan and includes an indication of the level to which the Organization is responsible. The monitoring and evaluation framework is meant to be used in conjunction with the Accountability framework for the strategy. In the fourth quarter of each year monitoring and evaluation data feed into developing the implementation plan for the following year along with the monitoring and evaluation framework.
This is the last year of the 2023–2025 Strategy and a stock-tacking exercise is ongoing as per recommendation from WHO’s governing bodies. The findings of this exercise will be triangulated with the external and internal reviews and assessment to contribute to the development of the WHO’s Consolidation Strategy 2026–2027.
Updates of the implementation of Year 3 will be done during the PRSEAH Quarterly Member States briefings for continued transparency and accountability.
