Additional Information: Disaggregation: by sex, type of service This is an output-level indicator, exceptionally included because it belongs to the EU Results Framework – EU RF. For more information, please see the methodological note available here.

Additional Information: From Results framework of the Service for Foreign Policy Instruments –FPI RF

Additional Information: Indicator adapted from the Spotlight Initiative (indicator number 2.2 “Proportion of countries that allocate x% or more of national budgets to the prevention and elimination of all forms of VAWG/HP”). Spotlight monitoring framework accessible here. Special attention should be paid to any measures/changes promoted by the EU, to see whether they were adopted or not.   Studies should be conducted using the same methodology for measuring the extent to which state entities and justice structures allocate resources for the prevention and elimination of GBV. Data will be collected by an external examination of the national budget. The sectorial agencies that support VAWG/HP programming may differ between countries, so individual inquiries will need to take place to determine which specific ministries or agencies within sectors need to be investigated. The standard investigation should include the following sector and or programme budgets: Gender, Health, Social Services, Education, Justice, Security, Culture. Once these budgets are examined, a search for topics pertaining to VAWG/HP programming will be conducted.
