  adopting a gendered approach to peacekeeping. The Mission has invested in ensuring
  
  that gender is mainstreamed across the four pillars of its mandate; also, it is
  
  responsible for implementing specific gender-focused tasks. It is the view of the
  
  review team that there is a need to deepen that approach and focus on specific
  
  transformative investments in key aspects of the Mission’s mandated pillars, relations
  
  with the Government and collaboration with the United Nations country team and
  
  regional actors, especially where dedicated gender expertise and focus exists. A
  
  gendered analysis of the South Sudanese environment reveals bleak prospects for the
  
  security of women and girls, their bodily and physical integrity, the toll of the
  
  humanitarian crisis on them, their meaningful participation in political processes and
  
  any meaningful implementation of the gender provisions in the Revitalized Peace
  
  Agreement. There is a need for the pooling of financial resources across the United
  
  Nations system to ensure progress in these areas, the targeted deployment of gender
  
  and women’s rights capacity and expertise within the Mission, a leveraging of the
  
  existing institutional memory on gender, support for national institutions with gender-
  
  related mandates and the embedding of gender norms, approaches and language in
  
  political engagement with interlocutors at all levels. Shifts in institutional culture
  
  towards gender equality and the protection of women and girls in the long term will
  
  only be achieved with deliberate and consistent effort.
