Government MDAs, Legislative Assemblies and private sector actors empowered through access to technical assistance, data and capacity building support, for the promotion of affirmative procurement measures for WOBs [(incl. accountability mechanisms, and enabling services (i.e. financing, infrastructural support etc.)].
In addition to results reported by UN Women field offices (shown here), results achieved in countries and territories through the United Nations Trust Fund to End Violence against Women (UNTF) are included in a non-duplicative manner in the global reporting on this indicator (see the Our Global Results page).
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.

UN Women has engaged both public procurement agencies in Lagos and Kaduna State with two strategic proposals. First, the possibility of having an executive order signed by the Chief Executive of the respective state governments to provide procurement quotas for women owned businesses. Secondly, UN Women is already in advanced stages with both procurement agencies to reform their existing policy guidelines and regulations, to make them more gender responsive and include mandatory "set asides" that provide enhanced opportunities for women owned businesses.Disclaimer and notes
