UN-Women with its unique and empowering organizational culture, is an employer of choice with an engaged and highly performing cadre of personnel that embodies UN values

Through a combination of leadership development, staff learning, safeguarding measures, and workforce management reforms, the Country Office contributed to conditions that support a more motivated, capable, and values-driven workforce. Investments in leadership and team development supported improved internal cohesion and shared understanding of organisational priorities. The leadership and team-building retreat provided a platform for staff to reflect on roles, responsibilities, and ways of working in relation to the Strategic Note (2025–2029). Follow-up actions integrated into regular staff and management meetings supported ongoing dialogue on accountability, collaboration, and performance, contributing to strengthened internal alignment and coordination. Institutional measures to strengthen ethical conduct and safeguarding contributed to reinforcing UN values within the workplace. Protection from Sexual Exploitation and Abuse training for staff and inter-agency partners enhanced awareness of expected standards of behaviour, reporting obligations, and prevention approaches. The training supported increased confidence among participants to identify and address SEA/H risks and contributed to ongoing efforts to strengthen accountability and safeguarding practices. Knowledge sharing and learning mechanisms within the Country Office supported improved understanding of corporate systems and procedures. Regular learning sessions on recruitment processes, travel management, and service tracking contributed to more consistent application of policies and supported operational efficiency. The development of a structured learning plan further contributed to systematising staff development and addressing identified capacity gaps over time.
