Outcome MYM_O_5

Effective normative, programmatic and coordination products, services, and processes

UN Women Myanmar continued to strengthen its strategic planning and management practices to support effective delivery in a complex operating environment. During the reporting period, the Country Office focused on streamlining internal workflows and strengthening coordination through the deployment of key international personnel in-country and the establishment of a Leadership Team that brings together decision-makers across programmes and locations to support timely and strategic decision-making. The deployment of two international personnel—marking the first issuance of visas since the 2021 military takeover—significantly strengthened Country Office performance. The in-country presence of the Operations Manager enhanced collaboration between programme and operations teams, contributing to improved delivery and compliance through regular, solution-focused coordination. In parallel, the presence of the Humanitarian Lead strengthened UN Women’s visibility in the humanitarian space and opened new opportunities for inter-agency collaboration and resource mobilization. In addition, the Country Office engaged with the Regional Office to initiate the process of extending the Strategic Note to the end of 2026, in alignment with the UN Country Team decision to extend the current Transitional Cooperation Framework by one year. This process is expected to be finalized in early Q3, ahead of the 2026 annual work planning cycle, ensuring continued alignment between strategic direction and operational planning.
