UN Women Egypt Country Office’s work is carried out in support of Egypt’s Vision 2030 and the National Strategy for the Empowerment of Egyptian Women (2030), and is grounded in the principles and targets contained in the CEDAW, SDGs, and the Beijing PfA. Under the Egypt UN Cooperation Framework (UNPDF 2018-2022), UN Women ECO implements its triple mandate of supporting normative standard setting and being a global source of knowledge on best practices; works with the Government of Egypt, civil society and private sector in the implementation of these commitments and best practices; and supports strengthened coordination of the UN System in advancing gender equality and women’s empowerment. Since the early 1990s, the ECO has consolidated its expertise, partnerships, and investments into two areas: Women’s Economic Empowerment; and Eliminating all forms of Violence Against Women and Girls, including harmful practices.
