The Joint Programme focuses on ensuring data on VAW prevalence are readily accessible to be used for advocacy, policy and programming. Efforts include supporting the translation of national prevalence survey results into user-friendly, accessible information that can guide the formulation of policies and programmes to end VAW, and enhancing data literacy by conducting dialogues between data producers and users. Additionally, the Joint Programme will provide support to countries to report on VAW indicators under international normative frameworks, including the SDGs. The Joint Programme has supported:
- Policy dialogues based on VAW survey results in Georgia; and
- Dialogue between data producers and users in Jamaica.
