Enhanced quality of programmes through knowledge, innovation, RBM & evaluation

The office's internal capacity for efficient and effective programme management was strengthened with the creation of a Planning, Monitoring, and Reporting Analyst position in 2024 The Country Portfolio Evaluation of the country office has demonstrated the effectiveness and relevance of the interventions that the office has undertaken. For instance the evaluation found that UN Women has made key contributions to advancing gender equality and women’s empowerment in Timor-Leste across its triple mandate. The Strategic Note has been relevant and aligned with key national and international priorities for advancing gender equality and women’s empowerment. Moving forward, the Country Office must translate normative progress into sustainable results for women and girls in all their diversity to maintain credibility and relevance. In 2024, the Country Office’s reporting mechanism has been strengthened through the introduction of structured processes, which have allowed for deeper quality assurance by senior management. In 2024, the Country Office focussed on substantive support to all colleagues while developing reporting inputs so that time and effort taken for reviews can be reduced.
