Humanitarian /crisis response planning, frameworks & programming are gender inclusive and responsive
In 2021, UN Women became the lead of the Gender in Humanitarian Action Working Group (GHAWG) whose members are the focal points for all humanitarian clusters with the Humanitarian Country Team, government technicians, UN agencies and NGOs. As part of humanitarian planning, UN Women has built the capacity of all members of the HWG and cluster coordination teams to ensure that gender is taken into account at all stages of humanitarian planning. UN Women trained humanitarian project review teams on the Gender and Age Marker to ensure that they are taking gender into account. These efforts have significantly improved the quality of the HNO/HRP in terms of gender mainstreaming.

An enabling environment for implementation of WPS commitments is created in Niger
On September 29, 2020, Niger adopted a second-generation Resolution 1325 National Action Plan thanks to the technical and financial support of UN WOMEN through a process that evaluated the first NAP and adopted a new one. This revision makes it possible to take into account the new resolutions of the Women, Peace and Security Agenda adopted since 2016; to integrate the objectives of the new National Gender Policy adopted in August 2017; as well as to take into account the international mechanism dedicated to this theme which has also evolved. In 2021, UN-WOMEN has defined with the Ministry of Women's Promotion and Protection an operationalization plan with priority activities to be carried out. Thus, the activities are divided as follows: - The first activity consisted of supporting the Ministry of Women's Promotion and Child Protection in setting up the NAP Secretariat. To this end, UN Women supported the drafting of decrees on the creation, attribution, composition and functioning of the Secretariat and its steering committee, as well as the drafting of job descriptions for their members. This led to their appointment by decree N° 000025/MPF/PE/SG/DPF/G/DL of October 26, 2021. - These members benefited from capacity building on their roles in the implementation of the NAP through a retreat from July 23 to 30, 2021 in Dosso. At the same time, the financial and operational planning of the priority actions of the NAP was developed for each region of the country and at the national level. The total budget is about 33 million USD for a period of 5 years. - At the end of December 2021, the Secretariat was equipped with 4 computers, 1 photocopier, 1 video projector, 1 meeting table for 12 people, 5 electronic extension cords, 6 wooden cabinets, 4 desks, 4 chairs and computer consumables necessary for its operation for at least one year. 1400 copies of the NAP and 900 copies of the financial and operational planning have been printed and will be distributed to all stakeholders. - A national mapping of the needs and actors involved in the implementation of the WPS agenda is underway since December 2021. This mapping, carried out by a firm, will allow the establishment of a dynamic and updated database by the members of the Secretariat. An international workshop to share experiences on the implementation of the NAPs was scheduled for December 12-17, under the patronage of the Minister for the Promotion of Women. The workshop had to be postponed due to scheduling constraints. It will take place in early February and will bring together several countries (Cameroon, Chad, DRC, Mali, Cote d'Ivoire, Burkina Faso, Senegal, Mauritania) We hope to finalize the last two activities during this first quarter.

Young and adolescent girls have access to an enabling environment and quality education in Niger
This outcome is not achieved this year 2021. The electoral process followed by the installation of the new government has caused an unavailability of state actors and a change in the first actors involved in the collaboration process. However, a collaboration for the technical assistance of UN Women in the government has been signed between UN Women, the Italian Embassy and the Nigerian government to improve the access of young girls and adolescents to an enabling environment and quality education in Niger. UN Women is accompanying the Government of Niger to finalize the signing and implementation of a major 3-year education programme to accelerate the education of young people in the Maradi region.
