The recommendation is relevant in relation to the revitalization of the group on e-VAW which was less active in 2012. The support to coordination functions was affected by limited availability of technical staff time from UN Women and non-availability of a counterpart within the MMAS with the resignation of functions of the Executive Secretary of the National Council for the Advancement of Women in early 2012 who was not replaced before April 2013. The staff rotation coupled with underestimation of its own work within MMAS also affects the evaluation of its work. For instance, between 2011 and 2012 MMAS successfully managed to get all state representatives signing up the UNiTE Campaign ? the Presidents of the Parliament, the President of the Constitutional Court, the Attorney General, the President of the Administrative Tribunal ? all after the President?s signature in November 2010. MMAS also took the initiative to table the presentation of the UNiTE Campaign Report at the 3rd National Conference on Women and Gender which took place in November 2012. It included the production of the report which counted with UNWOMEN?s technical support. These stand as evidences of ownership of the Campaign by MMAS.
