The UN system in South Sudan is effective in gender mainstreaming and the promotion of gender equality and women’s empowerment
The UN System in South Sudan committed in ensuring gender equality and empowerment of women- there is a UN Gender Thematic Group (GTG) in place with work plan and meet quarterly. The UN Sustainable Development Cooperation Framework (UNSDCF) has maintained Outcome 4 for women and youth while ensuring mainstreaming gender in Outcome 1-3. The UNCT Gender Scorecard assessment conducted in 2021 is a basis for improvement in the indicators and the UNCT work in GEWE. For example, three out of the four indicators scored missing in 2021, status changed to either approaches minimum requirement, meets minimum requirement, or exceed minimum requirement following the gender analysis of the CCA, the gender parity pledge including the plans to develop an gender parity strategy the creation of the dashboard and the plans to train result group member including the HR, M&E, Communications and GTG member in UNCT SWAP scorecard and GEM. Going forward more efforts should be on mobilizing resources to support in the implementation of the recommendations /actions from the UNCT scorecard assessment.
