UN Women’s Regional Office for Europe and Central Asia Strategic Note 2022–2025 guides gender equality and women's empowerment efforts across 12 countries and territories. It addresses stagnation and regression in gender equality due to socioeconomic dynamics and the COVID-19 pandemic. Key locations include Türkiye, Central Asia, Eastern Europe, the South Caucasus and the Western Balkans.  

The programme focuses on advancing gender equality through four transformative objectives: implementing normative frameworks, promoting gender-responsive governance, combating discrimination and violence, and enhancing UN accountability. Approaches comprise subregional analysis and the application of feminist leadership principles.

Major partners encompass Member States of the UN Economic Commission for Europe, development partners, civil society, women's rights organizations, youth leaders, the private sector and the UN system. These collaborations enhance programmatic reach and effectiveness. Strategic Note direct funding supports innovative practices and capacity-building in emerging areas such as gender and climate, digitalization and intersectional approaches.
