    Summary of country programme

    UN Women's programming contributes to an enabling environment for women, peace, and security. Programmes focus on strengthening the leadership of women-led and women’s rights organizations to respond to the impact of the compounded crises of the COVID-19 pandemic and the coup which included prevention and protection from GBV, relief, and recovery assistance. The business accelerator programme and livelihood support to women and girls in Rakhine state have contributed to economic resilience and recovery of women-led businesses. The CO continues to raise awareness of gender-based violence and support safe migration for female migrants as part of the regional Safe and Fair initiative. Providing gender data and mainstreaming gender into coordination mechanisms across the development, humanitarian, and peace nexus contributes to gender-responsive policy and programmes of UN and development agencies in Myanmar.

    Advancing SDGs: UN Women's impact and key achievements
    The most significant outcome of the UN Women Myanmar Country Office (MCO) in 2024 is the empowerment of women CSOs (WCSOs) to effect concrete changes in the lives of women and girls affected by multiple crises in Myanmar. Through MCO’s direct role in supporting WCSOs amidst the restrictive implementation context, WCOs catalysed changes in the lives of women that allowed them to lead, participate in, and benefit from humanitarian and relief response, in line with the SN 2024-2025; and ultimately contributed to the achievement of multiple targets under SDGs 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 8, and 16. 2 WCSOs contributed to high level decision making as a member of the Humanitarian Country Team (HCT). MCO’s support also led to the leadership of local organisations in relief and recovery interventions during the Typhoon Yagi flood response, wherein they successfully mobilized lifesaving aid for their community. Through Women’s Peace & Humanitarian Fund (WPHF), 9 grantees received 1.6M USD, which contributed towards changes in the lives of 17,136 direct beneficiaries (187 Girls, 11,647 women, 106 Boys, 5,189 Men and 7 others) and 49,237 indirect beneficiaries through enabling access to humanitarian relief, GBV and livelihoods services, skills building in peace, GBV and Gender in Humanitarian Action (GiHA), and the protection of women’s and girls’ rights in 31 townships.
