Section 5: Envisaged ChallengesThough the challenges towards the development and implementation of NAPs are similar,they are presented separately in this guideline.A. Envisaged Challenges in the Development of NAPs1. Lack of political will2. Vibrancy of civil society3. Lack of technical know how4. Lack of funding5. Lack of awareness & understanding of the provisions of UNSCR 13256. NAPs not being government priorities7. Constant change of government officials and portfolios8. Patriarchy9. Inadequate representation of women in decision making positions/Affirmative Actionpolicy10. Lack of effective coordination11. Inadequate enlightenment/sensitization on UNSCR 132512. Inadequate number of women in hitherto male dominated sectorsB. Challenges in the Implementation of NAPs1. Lack of capacity – Every person involved in the implementation of NAPs should haveadequate tools, trainings and support in order to successfully and fully implement theNAPs. To overcome this challenge would involve holding specific capacity building sessionsfor them as well as provision of toolkits, guidelines and other training materials.2. Inadequate funding – the greatest obstacle to the implementation of NAPs. Gender issuesare rarely seen as high priorities and securing funding can be a long up-hill task. In fact,in most countries, the gender/women’s ministry often has the lowest annual budgetaryallocations. Thus, the taskforce should during the process of the development of NAPsput in place mechanisms for resource mobilization. Twinning between developed anddeveloping countries can help provide the resources needed for the implementation ofNAPs by developing countries.3. Lack of political will – lack of political will can be a big obstacle to the implementationof NAPs and must be ensured through awareness-raising and advocacy and lobbying4. NAP not a priority of government22
5. Socio-economic aspects not caught in most NAPs, hence people are not seeing themselveswithin the NAPs6. Lack of proper coordination and allocation of responsibilities – NAPs are to be implemented atdifferent levels, hence ensuring the coordinated implementation of the NAP can be challenging.Lack of ownership of the document by stakeholders as document may be seen as that ofthe coordinating ministry which has not carried the other ministries along7. Lack of monitoring and evaluation mechanism – Without an effective M & E system in place,there is no way of knowing whether the action plan is being fully implemented or holding actorsaccountable/responsible for their part in implementation and thus serve as an incentive.Taking these challenges into account and investing in awareness-raising, capacity building,coordination, M & E and advocacy initiatives are essential for the successful implementation ofNAPs.23
