Although the 2008-2009 System-wide Action Plan was credible in terms of strengthening results based management, it had design and development weaknesses that will require extensive consultations and redesigning. Tools for measuring progress, such as the comprehensive set of indicators on resolution 1325 (2000), have been designed to ascertain the impact of international efforts on women's issues in order to address the substantive gaps that remain between policies and their implementation. These indicators should also monitor success in the implementation of national action plans. However, 10 years on, most Member States have yet to implement national action plans, with only 20 countries having adopted them.
