Outcome PAK_O_2

Increased engagement of partners in support of UN-Women’s mandate

The outcome was achieved during the year. PCO engaged with partners through collaboration on joint events, research and advocacy efforts, amplifying global observances including International Women’s Day (IWD) 2022, 16 Days of Activism and HeForShe campaign for engagement of men and boys. During the year 2022, through collaboration, partners including government institutions, CSOs and private sector have increased capacity to take lead on campaigns and outreach on gender equality issues. The private sector including Soorty and Nishat has demonstrated commitments on the agenda of Gender Equality and Women’s Empowerment (GEWE) by increasing the outreach of these campaigns in corporate sectors. Effective advocacy also resulted in 25+ new companies joining the WEPs network.

Increased engagement of partners in support of UN-Women’s mandate

There was moderate progress towards this outcome. UN Women's engagement with partners was strengthened on gender equality initiatives, specifically with development partners, private sector and government counterparts. However, the engagement with CSO's did not progress as envisaged.
