Improved management of financial and human resources in pursuit of results

In 2022, UN Women Lebanon’s financial and HR management further improved. In 2022, UN Women Lebanon further increased its annual spending and its delivery rate to 95 percent. This was supported through the expansion and further training of the operations team, changes in the structure of the office and a clearer segregation of roles and responsibilities as well as improved business processes. In 2022, UN Women improved 12 Business Processes and documented these in SOPs. Monthly follow-up has been conducted between operations and programme to ensure timely delivery enhanced with staff training, quality assurance, guidance, policies, and procedures. UN Women has also joined forces with other COs in the region to ensure operational gaps such as Finance and Procurement functions are covered. Furthermore, the partner audits conducted in 2022 (for 2021) did not include any qualified audit findings. This shows that UN Women Lebanon is closely monitoring the implementation for their partners.
