GREVIO strongly encourages the Norwegian authorities to:
a. assign the role of co-ordinating body to fully institutionalised entities, to equip these with clear mandates, powers and competences that are widely communicated and to allocate the necessary human and financial resources to these entities, in order to ensure the sustainability of their work;
b. ensure, on the one hand, the co-ordination and implementation of policies and measures, and on the other hand, their independent monitoring and evaluation, in order to ensure objectivity in the evaluation of policies.
