Advancing SDGs: UN Women's impact and key achievements
In 2025, UN Women Philippines advanced gender equality by strengthening the enabling environment for women's participation and leadership across peace and security, climate and energy governance, the private sector, HIV governance, and VAW prevention. Through evidence?based interventions and strong partnerships with government, CSOs, women’s groups, and the private sector, the organization supported the translation of gender?equality commitments into concrete action, contributing to progress under SDGs 5, 7, 13, and 16.On WPS, UN Women enhanced institutional capacities that enabled government and CSO partners to implement commitments more effectively. In BARMM, in partnership with the Bangsamoro Women Commission (BWC) and Bangsamoro Transition Authority (BTA), strengthened gender?responsive governance, advanced the BARMM Gender and Development Code, and promoted gender mainstreaming. With the Office of the Presidential Adviser on Peace, Reconciliation and Unity (OPAPRU), two new regional action plans on WPS were developed, while 3,860 women gained leadership skills through targeted capacity?building initiatives in WPS thematic areas.On gender and climate, the EmPower Programme supported three national and one provincial government in integrating gender equality into climate and renewable energy policies. The programme strengthened links to climate financing and promoted inclusive energy transitions. It also built the capacities of 18 women?focused and environmental CSOs, enabled 607 women to participate in climate?resilient development, provided livelihood skills to 127 women, and supported micro?financing access for 7,280 women entrepreneurs.In the private sector, the Gender Action Lab (GAL) assisted 10 companies in addressing barriers to women’s leadership in male?dominated industries, particularly technology and digital sectors. Using the TECH Framework—Transparency, Entry and Early Pipeline, Care and Work?Life Integration, and Harnessing Leadership Pathways—companies strengthened leadership pipelines, improved transparency, and enhanced systems to mitigate gender bias.UN Women also advanced gender?responsive HIV governance by supporting the leadership of 60 women living with HIV and generating evidence through a formative assessment and national summit, contributing to stronger integration of gender and HIV issues in national and local governance.In VAW prevention, UN Women improved national systems through stronger interagency coordination, deeper engagement with women’s groups, and expanded survivor?centred services, enhancing protection both online and offline.Across all areas, UN Women’s partnerships created dynamic and sustainable pathways for women’s leadership and strengthened institutional capacities nationwide, positioning the Philippines to accelerate progress toward gender equality and women’s empowerment that will contribute to delivering on other key sustainable development goals and outcomes.
Advancing SDGs: UN Women's impact and key achievements
By leveraging UN Women’s triple mandate and effectively applying the QCPR functions, UN Women successfully guided and influenced key national processes linked to the operationalization and reporting of international frameworks and standards and supported cross-sectoral, multistakeholder collaborations towards ensuring women’s voice and representation. Through the EmPower Phase II programme, UN Women contributed to the development of the M&E frameworks of both the Nationally Determined Contribution Implementation Plan (NDCIP) and the National Adaptation Plan (NAP), ensuring the integration of 37 priority indicators from an initial pool of 100 gender and environment indicators that will support measuring the effectiveness of climate action policies and plans and their impact on the lives of women and girls. It likewise addresses perennial issue of the lack of data on gender and climate nexus and supports the improved inclusion of women’s perspectives and needs as a key consideration in future climate policy and strategies, reinforcing efforts to achieve SDG5 and enhancing the effectiveness and sustainability of strategies to advance SDG13. Through the WPS programme, women human rights defenders, indigenous women, women with disabilities and young women gained visibility, networks and access to decissionmakes and prospective partners through the entry points provided by UN Women to WROs and CSOs in the International Conference on WPS and in the Asia Pacific Ministerial Meeting on DRR, both of which were hosted by the Philippine government. Through UN Women support in partnership with the Global Affairs Canada, WROs and CSOs from across the country forged cross-sectoral and intergenerational solidarity through the broad consultations conducted nationwide for the shadow reporting for the BPfA+30. Lastly, through the presentation of the very first Country Programme Priorities in January 2024, partners, collaborators, fellow advocates and development partners were gathered, highlighted the shared aspiration to ensure women’s leadership and participation in decision making across the humanitarian-development-peace nexus, and opened spaces for conversations for possible partnerships and offered an opportunity to UN Women to be viewed as the partner of choice when it comes to GEWE.
Advancing SDGs: UN Women's impact and key achievements
Through leveraging UN Women’s coordination and convening mandate, improvements in gender mainstreaming in UN common country programming and planning processes and enhanced effectiveness of partnerships, collaboration and engagements with partners, government agencies, and other strategic organizations, including civil society, the academe and private sector, to deliver on Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 5 – gender equality and promote it as a catalyst for the achievement of all SDGs have been significant in 2023. First, within the UN system, there has been a notably more conscious effort to incorporate gender dimensions in the development of the Common Country Analysis 2023 through the analytical piece on gender equality prepared by UN Women and the new UN Sustainable Development Cooperation Framework (UNSDCF) 2024-2028 through UN Women’s active participation in interagency working groups and technical inputs that supported UN agencies and interagency mechanisms, such as the Gender Thematic Group (GTG), in understanding how to better integrate gender in the outcomes areas and the results framework of the UNSDCF. Contributions by UN Women also strengthened the performance of the UN Country Team (UNCT) in relevant indicators of the UNCT-SWAP Gender Equality Scorecard for 2023. Second, and related to the Women, Peace and Security (WPS) programme, capacities and influence of women peacebuilders and mediators have been improved through the advanced WPS Course, which was made available through partnerships and collaboration with UN Women. Trained women peacebuilders and mediators were enabled to carve out a space in mediation and conflict prevention in local level government and community structures, where their assistance and guidance are now being sought after by local offices and leaders. Given its impact, continuing and scaling the advanced WPS Course are well within the priorities in the coming years. Third, engagements, including convening gatherings, discussions and consultations with women leaders across various government agencies, such as in the uniformed service/security sector, have opened entry points for collaboration and partnerships. For instance, conversations on the formulation of an action plan promoting women’s leadership in the uniformed service/security sector are ongoing and the said action plan is set to be developed in 2024. Relationships with other strategic government agencies that started through the aforementioned engagements will provi
