Despite considerable challenges, during the reporting period, the MCO has made considerable progress under SN Outcome 2—contributing measurably to the enhanced leadership and participation of women-led and women's rights CSOs (W-CSOs). Through the Government of Finland and Norway-funded projects, UN Women provided critical support to the institutional capacity building of W-CSOs, while also working with UN and other development partners to meaningfully include W-CSOs in various human rights and humanitarian mechanisms. Most notably, at the end of 2023, UN Women MCO achieved the target for one of its Outcome indicators, wherein 100 per cent (or 26 out of 26) of the W-CSO supported by UN Women were still operational. Through its partners, the MCO supported W-CSOs in Kachin, Kayin, Rakhine states, and Yangon region to strengthen their institutional capacities. W-CSOs received small grants and provided protection, relief and recovery services to 12,748 direct beneficiaries and 7,785 indirect beneficiaries.
UN Women supported international and regional advocacy for women’s rights and included a mission to Indonesia to share updates on the situation in Myanmar from a Women, Peace, and Security (WPS) perspective with Indonesian representatives of ASEAN Sectoral Bodies and special Human Rights Commission. The trip aimed to foster stronger and closer network relationships between Myanmar CSOs and ASEAN women peacebuilders and Indonesian CSOs. UN Women also supported this WCSO to participate in various advocacy opportunities in Geneva, New York, and Thailand. A key outcome from CSO advocacy in Geneva was the understanding that the formal channel for submitting official CSO written statements to the CEDAW committee about Myanmar involves UN Special Rapporteur Tom Andrews. The Vice Chairperson of the CEDAW committee committed to exploring ways to officially address Myanmar's issues in upcoming CEDAW sessions, potentially collaborating with Tom Andrews. In March 2023, UN Women supported a delegation of WCSOs to participate in a side event at CSW 67. Their global advocacy at CSW 67 led to extensive coverage of gender equality and women's empowerment (GEWE) issues in global news publications such as the Associated Press and the Diplomatic Insight and a press conference organised by the Permanent Mission of Norway to the United Nations. The trip also supported the WCSO delegation in strengthening their relationships with Member State delegations in New York.
UN Women MCO has also been supporting humanitarian, peace, and development coordination bodies to engage women's CSOs for development planning, policies, and programming and involve them in decision-making. UN Women, through various partners, provided capacity building to 17 W-CSOs on WPS to support their advocacy efforts.
In the humanitarian sector , training on Rapid Gender Analysis were provided to 124 individuals (105 female; 19 male) directly through UN Women and through a responsible party small grants and trainings to 17 WCSOs (166 female; 70 male) were provided. Training included organisational policies, community level protection and humanitarian response to enhance W-CSO’s ability to contribute to WPS and humanitarian processes.
