By 2024, people in Yemen, especially women, adolescents and girls and those in the most vulnerable and marginalized communities experience more rights-based good governance, comprised of effective people-centred, equitable and inclusive gender and age-responsive improved public services, and rule of law

In 2023, 73 civil society organizations have strengthened knowledge, skills and capacities for peace of women and youth groups and peace actors across the country. Those CSOs were engaged in over 30 dialogue and consultation meetings, and participating in networks of peace practitioners to enhance knowledge sharing and learning. UN Women continued to work in close collaboration with relevant peace stakeholders and partners to implement a multi-pronged approach.

UN-Women effectively leverages and expands its partnerships, communications and advocacy capabilities to increase support for and financing of the gender equality agenda, while securing sustainable resourcing for the delivery of its own mandate.

UN Women Yemen CO continues to leverage and expand its partnerships, communication and advocacy capabilities to increase support for the gender equality agenda. More individuals, communities, and organizations engaged with UN Women’s WPS agenda through a strategic partnership with OSESGY. Strategic partnerships with civil society and women leaders enabled UN Women to reach out to a large number of audience and create platforms within its network to advocate for the WPS agenda and further expand its impact within the grassroot community. Specifically, understanding the challenges of the current peace process and the implementation of WPS and YPS Agendas in Yemen, during 2023 UN Women and OSESGY significantly enhanced their partnership, collaboration and communication to contribute to their respective mandates and mutually scale up results and impact, substantively and consistently coordinating and aligning strategies and activities to achieve a more inclusive and gender-responsive peace process. Other partners increased their exposure to gender mainstreaming concepts and practices through UN Women’s engagement in strategic UN and donors' partnership and coordination mechanisms, such a as the Yemen Partner Group (YPG) and Yemen Partner Technical Team (YPTT). These engagements aim to boost gender mainstreaming and financing for GEWE in Yemen. UN Women also contributed to review UN Yemen CCA using updated GEWE data to inform policy and programme development.

UN-Women strategically plans for and transforms its business model to deliver impact at scale, through agile and ethical leadership rooted in a continuous improvement culture

To deliver impact at scale, in 2023 UN Women initiated a substantive business model transformation, refocusing its programmes and operations at country level through the establishment of UN Women Yemen Country Office (de-linking from the previous UN Women Iraq and Yemen Cluster Office). The new business model and structure effectively responds to the extremely complex Yemen operational context and it is the result of a long-term analytical and strategic planning process that will enable UN Women CO to optimize the human and financial resources available while mobilizing additional contributions to (a) scale up interventions and results achieved to date, (b) boost the integration of GEWE and WPS/YPS principles across HDP nexus interventions, and (c) enhance the capacity of UN System entities and development partners for gender-transformative action, including through enhanced gender-responsive data collection and management.
