With its unique and inclusive culture, UN-Women is an employer of choice with a diverse and highly performing cadre of personnel that embodies UN values.

During the reporting year, the Conflict Cluster Office (CCO) provided several trainings and capacity development activities related to programme and operations functions for the staff, to increase performance awareness, promote a culture of accountability, advance their knowledge and further develop their skills to better manage programmes and integrate the organization’s overall strategic directions into implementation and operations. A challenge remained the high staff turnover due to unattractive salaries and lack of professional career development within the office, which led to operational and programmatic bottlenecks and the increased workload for ad-hoc temporary, in-house substitutes. As a response, the office developed an online learning platform that contains standard operating procedures (SoPs), training materials, and induction sessions which supported the quick onboarding of newly recruited staff, and technical support was provided to strengthen programme officers' capacities to deliver quality, results-based monitoring throughout the year, to ensure institutional knowledge with current programmes.
