UN System Coordination

Within the framework of the coordination of gender actions at the level of the United Nations System Agencies in Mali, progress has been made in terms of planning, implementation and reporting: The UNS Gender Thematic Group (GTG-SNU) in Mali has carried out the UNCT-SWAP Gender Score Card exercise for the UN Country Team in Mali. This exercise relates to the progress made by the UN country team in Mali in terms of gender mainstreaming during the UNSDCF 2020-2024 cycle. The GTG successfully ensured that the gender dimension was taken into account in the evaluation process for the UNSDCF 2020-2024 cooperation framework, as well as in the development of the CCA 2023. In addition to the efforts of GTG members, a gender expert was recruited by the GTG to support the process. The same gender expert is expected to ensure that gender is taken into account in the development of the new cooperation framework 2025-2029. The GTG carried out an evaluation of the UNS Mali Joint Gender Strategy 2016-2019, which was extended to 2024, and developed the new UNS Joint Gender Strategy 2025-2029. This exercise was facilitated by a team of consultants (national and international) recruited by GTG. The GTG reviewed the 3 flagship programs: Education, Renewable Energies and Food Security of the UN Country Team in Mali to ensure that gender was effectively taken into account in these programs.
