Recommendation 5

Mapping of where central and local government are spending money to tackle VAWG should lead to reduced duplication of services as well as fewer gaps in the services funded. Each local authority should annually map, and update, their funding provision in the interests of transparency and accountability, and to deliver more effective spending of public money. Central cross-government mapping of funding for VAWG should be undertaken and annually updated. (Conclusion, Paragraph 17) 23
