Advancing SDGs: UN Women's impact and key achievements
The National Authority of Elections (ANE) is preparing for the 2024-2025 local elections in the Central African Republic, which had not been held since 1988. UN Women provided a National Gender and Election Specialist to support gender mainstreaming in the electoral process. This included offering professional, technical, and strategic advisory services, as well as training staff and electoral actors on gender mainstreaming in the programming and implementation of ANE operations.
During the initial phase of updating the electoral register, UN Women and the United Nations Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in the Central African Republic (MINUSCA) focused on increasing the registration rate of women, young girls, and other vulnerable groups, aiming for gender parity on the electoral list. Neighborhood and village chiefs played a crucial role in the testimony mechanism for voter registration, allowing those without official identification documents to register.
The success of these initiatives in the initial operational areas provides a solid foundation for expanding activities to other zones, ensuring more inclusive participation in the 2025 elections. Additionally, UN Women has worked to integrate a gender perspective into the defense and security sectors, promoting women, peace, and security. This involved creating a gender structure within the Ministry of Defense, developing action plans, and establishing a committee to combat Gender-Based Violence (GBV). UN Women supported the Ministry of National Defense and the General Staff of the Armed Forces in establishing a committee responsible for developing a directive on gender and combating GBV within the Central African Armed Forces.
UN Women was requested by MINUSCA to provide technical support for capacity building of members of the defense and security forces on the importance of integrating gender within the defense and security forces for peace consolidation. By making the defense and security sector gender-sensitive, UN Women contributes to improving protection mechanisms for women and strengthens overall peace and security by ensuring a more inclusive and equitable response to security challenges in the Central African Republic.
To reduce all forms of violence, exploitation, and discrimination, including gender-based violence, UN Women is implementing several actions to strengthen the mobilization and coordination capacities of the Ministry of Women and decentralized ANE organizations such as the National Parity Observatory (ONP) and actors committed to the protection of children in the Central African Republic. These actions include training traditional leaders in the prevention of GBV within communities, organizing workshops for traditional leaders, civil society leaders, religious communities, human rights organizations, and the media.
