UN Women Champions Transparency and Collaboration at the International Aid Transparency Initiative (IATI)
UN Women solidified its leadership role in global gender equality initiatives at the International Aid Transparency Initiative (IATI) Members’ Assembly, held from March 13-16, 2023. This gathering was a platform for UN Women to demonstrate its dedication to transparency and effective aid, engaging with a diverse group of 179 global leaders from governments, UN agencies, civil society organizations, and the private sector.
A highlight of the assembly was UN Women’s strategic partnership with influential organizations like The Canadian Partnership for Women and Children's Health (CanWaCh) and Ajah. Co-leading sessions that centered on data-driven approaches to gender equality, UN Women was pivotal in promoting the importance of integrating user feedback into data platforms. This focus on learning from data users is critical for tailoring interventions that target gender-specific outcomes effectively.
Moreover, UN Women leveraged this global stage to elevate the profile of its Transparency Portal. This vital tool for data access became a focal point at the assembly, attracting nearly 2,000 visits during the event week. The significant increase in user engagement not only highlighted the portal’s value as a resource but also underscored UN Women’s commitment to using transparent, data-driven strategies to further gender equality worldwide.
Through these endeavors, UN Women not only shared insights and tools but also reinforced its role as a leader in driving forward the global agenda for gender equality through innovative and transparent practices.
