UN Women’s Senegal Strategic Note 2024–2028 addresses structural gender inequalities, climate vulnerabilities and violence against women. Active nationwide, including in Casamance and peri-urban areas, it aims to advance women’s rights, economic inclusion, and gender-responsive governance and services.

Key priorities include women’s economic empowerment, leadership in governance and peacebuilding, elimination of gender-based violence and improved access to social protection. The programme emphasizes local engagement in regions including Kaffrine and Kaolack. It applies approaches such as gender-responsive procurement, data-driven advocacy, unpaid care work reforms and the strengthening of decentralized public services for marginalized women.

UN Women partners with government ministries, civil society organizations, UN entities and private sector actors such as the Mastercard Foundation and BNP Paribas. Strategic Note direct funding supports scaled-up feminist programming. Strategic coordination and joint programmes deepen sustainability and support gender statistics production as well as systemic reforms advancing gender equality across humanitarian, development and peace agendas.
