Assuring an accountable organization through principled performance.

In 2024, the UN Women Chile office demonstrated strong progress in consolidating its operations and optimizing resource utilization. The office consistently monitored the implementation of regular resources, ensuring effective funding use through regular analysis of Quarterly Business Reviews and alignment with budgetary needs, including staffing, core programs, and technology upgrades. Staffing requirements were addressed to support office growth, with key hires made, such as an Operations Analyst, and roles streamlined for efficiency. Recruitment for two senior positions—Program Management Specialist and Economic Empowerment Specialist—are ongoing. Non-Core resource implementation was tracked by the Head of Office, Program Coordinator, and Operations Analyst, enabling proactive adjustments to enhance donor funding utilization. The Business Continuity and Crisis Management app has been updated to reflect recent staff changes and align with required protocols. Additionally, Occupational Safety and Health requirements are being enhanced in coordination with other UN agencies sharing the office space. The Originarias program, UN Women Chile’s flagship initiative, received praise from the Ministry of Women and Gender Equity, highlighting its progress and the positive impact of intercultural training for staff. Ongoing efforts with newer programs aim to achieve similar successes. While one donor report was overdue by a single day, the cause was addressed, and measures are now in place to better support Program Managers in meeting future deadlines. Regular monthly meetings ensure continuous oversight and improvement in reporting processes
