Data reported for 2022 results against this indicator was obtained as part of a learning process on social norms and therefore may not accurately reflect the results obtained. Internal reviews of data collected on social norms across relevant indicators, coupled with external reviews, are informing the design of UN Women’s principled approach to social & gender norms change. This will be reflected in changes to the indicators to be introduced in the Mid-Term Review of the Strategic Plan.

2023
By 2023, more women and girls, including the most vulnerable and marginalized groups, access, contribute to and benefit from relief and recovery efforts and have increased economic security and capacity to withstand the negative socio-economic impact of the crisis.
During the reporting period, UN Women Myanmar Country Office (MCO) has significantly contributed to ensuring that more women and girls, especially the most vulnerable and marginalized groups, access, contribute to, and benefit from relief and recovery efforts.
In the humanitarian sector, the MCO together with its implementing partners were able to support 4,716 (2557 are women and 2159 are men) during the post-cyclone Mocha emergency response. This included protection services including mental health services, shelter, food and non-food items through cash transfers.
Under the WPHF country window, a total of 10 grantees implemented relief and recovery programming. 148,924 people (2,350 girls, 138,539 women, 353 boys, 7095 Men) directly and 1,975,914 people indirectly for relief and recovery activities.
During the reporting period, using regular resources, 463 women entrepreneurs were supported with accessing information, goods, resources and/or services on economic empowerment. This was made possible through partnerships with two Myanmar-based organisations focused on female entrepreneurship and small business incubation. Ninety-seven female entrepreneurs running MSMEs benefitted by substantially increasing their leadership skills in business, and understanding of the intersection between business, human rights and gender with average knowledge uptake of 15% based on pre-post assessments. Trainings were used as an opportunity for the entrepreneurs to learn about the eLearning platform established by UNDP, which has specific training modules developed by UN Women for female entrepreneurs. An additional 9 online and in person activities were arranged to raise awareness of the eLearning platform and support female entrepreneurs to access it, including through zoom sessions, viber groups and via Facebook reaching a total of 234 women. Via a partnership with ONOW, UN Women was able to support 132 women entrepreneurs, 32 of whom during this period were supported with one-on-one coaching. In addition, using ONOW’s digital learning platform, 49 business owners completed Constraint Assessments and Action Plans, and 35 formulated Financing Plans using the digital platform. Through engagement with Impact Hub, UN Women implemented a comprehensive business accelerator that supported 50 women-led enterprises in peri-urban Yangon, which included training on business management, marketing, financial management, GBV, and legal awareness. Additionally, three podcasts featuring inspiring women entrepreneurs garnered over 2,500 views by May 10, 2023. Ten businesses received small grants totaling $40,000 (equivalent to 84,000,000 MMK) to support their growth. The initiative also focused on raising awareness of gender-based violence (GBV) and providing access to legal services through one training session, one networking event, and the integration of GBV and legal services into mentoring sessions (27%).
