In 2011, the Office of Special Representative Wallström and United Nations Action developed guidelines on the monitoring, analysis and reporting arrangements. The human rights structures in our
peacekeeping operations direct monitoring and verification, in close collaboration with other mission components and the members of the United Nations country team.
While the arrangements are not an end in themselves, they should contribute towards a better prevention and programming policy response. There remain challenges that we are trying to address:
mobilizing capacities to implement the arrangements; ensuring the presence of uniformed women in affected areas to reach out to women and girls; and addressing inadequate infrastructure and communications to gain
access to important regions to monitor and verify incidents. Ultimately, impunity, scarce services in rural areas and insecurity deter survivors from reporting the sexual violence to which they have been subjected.
