Increased engagement of partners in support of UN-Women’s mandate
As part of our resource mobilization and partnership building strategies, the Regional Office launched new media and private sector partnerships, With Prisa,MTV and Disney . Disney's partnership allowed UN Women to disseminate the messages of CSW66 through the NatGeo LATAM Channel. UN Women also received the certification as delivery partner by the Green Climate Fund (GCF) for its Readiness Program. This ACRO-led process allows all UN Women offices to apply as delivery partner jointly with National Accredited entities to the GCF - Readiness program. Two LAC projects (Uruguay and Guatemala) were selected this year . Another highlight is the mobilization of $5,250,000 for the Originarias programme focused on indigenous women in Chile and the opening of about 10 conversations with different private sector potential partner s in which we agreed a concept note or proposal Development . Different industry sectors were addressed, like medical and beauty care, health supplies for women, IT, Private transport, Telecommunications, among others.
Topics in conversations are mostly around Digital inclusion and economic empowerment , STEM, Violence prevention and Climate change .
