2022 IASC Gender Accountability Framework report

This report marks the fifth monitoring cycle of the Inter-Agency Standing Committee’s (IASC) 2017 “Policy on gender equality and the empowerment of women and girls in humanitarian action”. It provides a snapshot of the IASC’s output in the calendar year 2022 and allows for cross comparison with the baseline established with the 2018 Gender Accountability Framework (GAF) report and the subsequent 2019, 2020, and 2021 reports.

The annual GAF report is the only global monitoring mechanism in place to track implementation of gender commitments in humanitarian settings. The 2022 GAF report benefited from inputs provided by UN Women and OCHA offices operating in 29 crisis contexts, the highest response rate to date. The improvement in quantity and quality of responses suggests that there is growing awareness of and familiarity with the IASC gender policy and overall stronger prioritization of gender by the humanitarian sector.
