National-level review of implementation
States are called upon to undertake comprehensive national-level reviews of the progress made and challenges encountered in the implementation of the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action and the outcomes of the 23rd special session of the General Assembly. Governments should collaborate with relevant stakeholders at all levels of preparations for the 2015 review so as to benefit from their experience and expertise. They should continue to support the role and contribution of civil society, in particular non-governmental organizations and women’s organizations, in the implementation of the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action.
National reviews should cover trends, achievements and remaining gaps and challenges, as well as future plans to accelerate implementation at the national level.
The regional commissions will use the national reviews to prepare regional assessment reports over the course of 2014. All States are invited to complete their national reviews by 1 May 2014.
National reviews will also contribute to the global review and appraisal that UN Women will prepare and submit to the 59th session of the Commission on the Status of Women (CSW59).
UN Women and the regional commissions have developed a common guidance note to assist in and facilitate the preparation of these national reviews.
