UN Women's effectiveness has been recognized externally, as shown by new funding for Phase III of the Women Peace and Security project from Norway and supplementary humanitarian funds from Japan, as well as ongoing discussions with JICA. Additionally, since becoming co-chair of the Gender in Humanitarian Action (GIHA) Working Group in January 2025, UN Women has played a key coordination role. This role has helped build stronger accountability and capacity for gender equality in humanitarian work. Their leadership (UN Women and Plan International) has improved coordination among various actors on GIHA issues and fostered partnerships with mechanisms such as the PSEA Network, GBV AoR, and the Protection Cluster. Under their guidance, the GIHA Working Group produced major gender analysis reports—including two Rapid Gender Analyses on cyclones, one on conflict, and a Multi-Sector Needs Assessment focused on gender and inclusion—which informed humanitarian responses. UN Women also enhanced the skills of UN agencies, NGOs, and government bodies in Gender in Humanitarian Action and Disaster Risk Reduction. Advocacy efforts were ramped up to support women-led and women’s rights organizations’ involvement in humanitarian response, including technical assistance for the first country-based pooled fund, offered in partnership with OCHA.
