Content_paragraphs:  UNMISS continued to engage with parties to the conflict on the prevention of
  
  sexual violence. In January, pursuant to the NAS unilateral communiqué issued by
  
  Thomas Cirillo in September 2020, UNMISS delivered three remote training
  
  programmes on conflict-related sexual violence to four senior NAS officials,
  
  including the group’s designated high-level focal point on conflict-related sexual
  
  violence, to enable them to disseminate knowledge among the NAS leadership and
  
  field commanders. On 27 January, the senior leadership of the Joint Defence Board
  
  signed the action plan for the armed forces on addressing conflict -related sexual
  
  violence in South Sudan. The document – which builds upon the SSPDF and
  
  SPLM/A-IO action plans issued in 2019 – standardizes efforts to prevent and respond
  
  to conflict-related sexual violence for a three-year period until December 2023. Its
  
  public launch remains pending.
