Significant progress was made in 2023 with regard to leveraging and expanding our partners, communications and advocay capabilities. UN Women has leveraged its partnerships withing the UN System through participation in 13 out of 19 joint programmes developed by UNSDCF in 2023. UN Women in partnership with the GTG developed a Gender Checklist, to guide the JPs in their co-creation process to ensure the programmes have a focus on gender equality. This helped the agency position and advocate for GEWE within UNCT and UNSDCF. In addition, the Gender Theme Group was reinstated with strong support from the RC and UNCT. This ensures increased support and financing for GEWE and provides potential collaborations with new agencies. UN Women has also utilized its secretarial position in the Development Partners Group for Gender to influence conversations at the donor level, ensuring more investment for GEWE and raising awareness of emerging gender issues and how donors can support them. Through the Generation Equality Forum, UN Women has leveraged on the Multi-stakeholder advocacy for Gender Equality and Women Empowerment, which has led to increased support for GEWE. UN Women has also leveraged its partnership with the government through the National Sector Working Group to ensure that national laws, policies, and frameworks developed are gender-responsive and enforced with a gender lens. UN Women’s partnership with women’s rights organizations has ensured that gender issues are made visible, and the needs of women are lobbied and incorporated into laws and policies.
