i-icon World Bank Income Classification:Low Income The World Bank classifies economies for analytical purposes into four income groups: low, lower-middle, upper-middle, and high income. For this purpose it uses gross national income (GNI) per capita data in U.S. dollars, converted from local currency using the World Bank Atlas method, which is applied to smooth exchange rate fluctuations. i-icon Least Developed Country:Yes Since 1971, the United Nations has recognized LDCs as a category of States that are deemed highly disadvantaged in their development process, for structural, historical and also geographical reasons. Three criteria are used: per capita income, human assets, and economic vulnerability. i-icon Gender Inequality Index:0.575 GII is a composite metric of gender inequality using three dimensions: reproductive health, empowerment and the labour market. A low GII value indicates low inequality between women and men, and vice-versa. i-icon Gender Development Index:0.723 GDI measures gender inequalities in achievement in three basic dimensions of human development: health, education, and command over economic resources.

The tailored support aims at increasing women’s participation in decision making in security, peace and reintegration. The programme interventions engage the government and civil society partners to create an enabling environment for implementation, monitoring and reporting of the NAP 1325--by focusing on advocating for adequate financial accountability frameworks for the NAP 1325; and ensuring that civil society has the capacity and resources to monitor the NAP 1325 and to carry out evidence-based advocacy for implementation of the women, peace and security agenda in Afghanistan.

Strategic Note Outcome Progress Note Showing data of : 2021

An enabling environment for the implementation of WPS commitments is fostered.

During the reporting period, UN Women carried out the preparations for the dissemination of the “First Progress Report of Women, Peace and Security National Action Plan 1325 Phase II” and the organization of a series of workshops on Data Collection and monitoring and evaluation. The workshops were expected to provide NAP 1325 focal points in each line minister with guidance on data collection methodologies and tools. In light of the prevailing political instability (and lack of political will), the workshops were postponed. Furthermore, technical support aimed at driving gender-responsive security-sector reform (SSR) was provided by UN Women to the Ministry of Interior Affairs (MoIA) up until the Taliban takeover. UN Women supported the finalization of an SSR project plan for the MoIA aimed at creating a long-term, enabling environment that streamlines efforts to improve the meaningful participation of women in the national policy; and supports the implementation of the “Women in Police Roadmap” and its implementation plan (approved by the MoIA Deputy Minister for Strategy and Policy at the beginning of 2021). From August 2021 onward, UN Women adjusted its Women, Peace, and Security programming to further focus on strengthening Women and Human Rights Defender and CSO advocacy and monitoring capacities. UN Women Afghanistan, through its coordination role as Secretariat for the Women, Peace, and Security (WPS) Working Group and under the leadership of the respective Co-Chairs continued to convene regular coordination meetings on the operationalization of the WPS framework. Timely briefings were provided to WPS working group members by various representatives of the Government, as well as CSO members and women leaders, and meetings facilitated coordination among different stakeholders. The Country Office continued to elevate the WPS agenda in Afghanistan by facilitating high-level events and preparing briefings to inform strategic decision-making on WPS priorities in Afghanistan. These included briefings to the Informal Expert Group meetings on WPS in Afghanistan under the Taliban; briefing at the Noon Briefing, on two occasions; and reporting on the situation of women and girls in Afghanistan under the de facto authority. UN Women also facilitated the first delegation of Afghan women leaders to provide a briefing on the world stage in the aftermath of the fall of Kabul. The delegation of women leaders engaged in events during the 1325 Open Debate week in New York, USA (in October 2021). Afghan women leaders delivered briefings in a closed-door dialogue co-hosted by Norway and Qatar, and publicly at a high-level event (covered on UN TV) hosted by the United Kingdom and Canada. Over 150 media clippings were generated as a result of the week’s events. UN Women also facilitated the participation of two Afghan women civil society briefers at United Nations Security Council (UNSC) discussions in Q3 of 2021 and provided technical contributions to the report by the Secretary-General “The situation in Afghanistan and its implications for international peace and security”, presented to the UNSC.
