3.2.4 Cross-cutting recommendations
Priority: Long-term Directed to: Joint office management
RECOMMENDATION 10.

Explore new partnerships with donors and in the context of South-South cooperation, triangular partnerships and SIDS countries initiatives.
Based on: Conclusion 7
1.
Priority: Medium-term Directed to: Joint office management, Gender Committee and GHRWG
Develop a joint office resource mobilization strategy, to reinforce some strategies already discussed: The joint office needs to strengthen the programmatic integration of key cross-cutting issues and development accelerators. The joint office should strengthen its work on gender and make it more transformative through the design and implementation of new initiatives that integrate thematic and gender issues.
• Establish an effective internal coordination mechanism and system for partnership management, resource mobilization, resource management and donor reporting; • Communicate effectively to position the Cabo Verde United Nations joint office as a thought leader on international media channels, and provide visibility for the joint office and partners on the results and impact of joint work in Cabo Verde.
Programmatic integration should promote GEWE by identifying behaviours and social norms which maintain gender inequality, so as to make institutional and systemic changes. The joint office should work with the Government of Cabo Verde to accelerate the implementation of GEWE, focusing on the most vulnerable as the active subjects of policies and programmes in all sectors, including emergency situations, and the equality of vulnerable groups, including migrants.
2. Strengthen existing relationships with traditional partners and explore new partnerships with traditional donors and in the context of South-South cooperation and triangular partnerships. In this sense, some areas that can be explored are: • Social protection: support to increase the database for the single register and extend its use to fight extreme poverty, and to implement an effective M&E system.
