It tracks the progress of key actions—such as increased prosecution capacity, improvements in survivor support services, and the introduction of legal reforms—while also identifying challenges like funding delays and bureaucratic obstacles. By assessing the effectiveness of these interventions, the report highlights both achievements and gaps in implementation. It underscores the need for sustained collaboration across government, civil society, and the private sector, demonstrating that a multi-sectoral approach is crucial.
