Progress against 2023 milestones

In 2023, UN Women supported 99 countries and territories (100 in 2022), including high-income countries, to advance gender equality and women’s empowerment. At the midpoint of the Strategic Plan, overall progress towards targets is positive. 

UN Women achieved good performance (reaching at least 90 per cent of 2023 milestones) for 85 per cent of indicators with data available at the development results output level, up from 77 per cent in 2022. Early achievement of 2025 targets across 31 per cent of indicators stems from various factors; the midterm review will allow UN Women to raise ambition in these areas.

^{Please note: This figure excludes 39 indicators that are only monitored at component or disaggregated levels or that are not assigned a 2023 milestone.}
