LNOB at every stage

UN Women’s Strategic Plan for 2022-2025 has a clear commitment to the principle of Leave No One Behind (LNOB). The human rights principle of non-discrimination is at the core of the work of LNOB and the foundation for the work of UN Women. Over the course of the implementation of the Strategic Plan, UN Women will continue to further deepen and build capacity on how to integrate the LNOB principle at all stages of the programming cycle from planning, implementation, monitoring, and evaluation. 

UN Women has been leading an inter-agency effort to build the capacity of UN Country Teams (UNCTs) to integrate the LNOB, gender equality, and human rights in the Common Country Analysis (CCA) and UN Sustainable Development Cooperation Framework (UNSDCF) and launched an online course with the UN Staff College for UN staff. An online foundational course on UNSDCF guiding principles of HRBA, GEWE, and LNOB.

Following these 4 steps is central to making sure no one is left behind:

Disability inclusion
In 2024, UN-Women with United Nations entities, Organisations of Persons with Disabilities, and organizations and networks of women with disabilities addressed stigma, discrimination and violence against women and girls with disabilities. UN-Women and UNDP, in collaboration with the Global Disability Fund, created a new measure, The Women with Disabilities Stigma Inventory, along with accompanying resources, to assess the experiences of women and girls with disabilities. A policy brief outlined actionable and evidence-based recommendations that were piloted in Moldova, Pakistan, Samoa and the State of Palestine. Both the methodology and the policy recommendations were informed by data from national and cross-regional assessments of stigma and non-discrimination. Women and girls with disabilities engaged in and benefited from disability-inclusive programming to end violence against women through 62 projects supported by the United Nations Trust Fund. To connect disability inclusion, with the SDGs and its core leave no one behind principle, UN-Women joined the International Organization of Supreme Audit Institutions’ Development Initiative to devise an auditing framework to address inequalities. UN-Women and the World Health Organization supported the strengthening of methodologies and the measurement of data on violence against women with disabilities, including through developing national capacities.
