UN Women has made strong progress towards achieving this outcome in 2023. In 2023, UN Women in coordination with RCO Tajikistan initiated and conducted the process of Annual UNCT-SWAP Scorecard reporting for Tajikistan. It followed by further in-person meeting of the IAT to jointly review the AP and indicators and the progress done, provided guidance to UNCTs, made a presentation to IAT/UNCT team to agree upon on five indicators to be assessed and reported. The Report was submitted timely in 2023 to the SWAP Desk. UN Women led the preparations, data collection, review, and UNCT endorsement of the report. RCO and UN Women played an instrumental role in ensuring the collaborative nature and timeliness of the process. The concerted work of the UN Inter-Agency Team and UN Women's leadership role were highly praised by RC. Out of five indicators assessed in 2023, 4 (four) performance indicators have been rated as exceeding UN-SWAP standards and only one rated as approaching.

By 2026 state and non-state actors coordinate and deliver commitments on gender equality and women's empowerment

The 2024 UNCT SWAP Gender Scorecard Report was successfully completed due to the active engagement of the UN Country Team SWAP Inter-Agency Team, which included the Resident Coordinator Office, as well as Data and M&E Focal Points, Communication Focal Points, Gender Focal Points, and the Operations Management Team from all UN agencies. During the introductory meeting, agencies selected five performance indicators for 2024 reporting and assigned responsible individuals to oversee the reporting process for each selected indicator. While some agencies were less active throughout the reporting period, all agencies contributed equally to the survey on organizational culture, which assessed whether the organizational culture fully supports the promotion of gender equality and the empowerment of women. Since the UNCT-SWAP analysis is conducted on behalf of the entire UNCT, it is difficult to calculate a precise percentage of entities that meet or exceed the UN-SWAP standards. However, a high proportion of reporting entities either met or exceeded minimum requirements on all 5 selected indicators, particularly in relation to organizational culture.
