Enhanced coordination, coherence and accountability of the UN system for commitments to gender equality and women’s empowerment
In 2022, ROAP achieved OEE 1 in leveraging coordination and coherence in the UN System for gender equality and women’s empowerment (GEWE), through the regional coordination mechanisms, the Issue Based Coalition on Human Rights and Gender Equality and Women’s Empowerment (IBC-HR/GEWE) and the Peer Support Group (PSG) through delivering system-wide guidance on:
(i) the development of Common Country Analyses (CCA)/ Cooperation Framework (UNSDCFs)- by supporting the capacity development of UN Country teams developing their CCAs/UNSDCFs on the integration of the guiding principle of GEWE and Human Rights-based approaches (HRBA) together with UNFPA and OHCHR i.e. in the Pacific (3 UNCTs), and Papua New Guinea (PNG);
(ii) in reviewing the CCAs/UNSDCFs for the UN Country Teams (UNCTs) in Afghanistan, Bhutan, Cambodia, India, Iran, Mongolia, Nepal, the Pacific, Pakistan, PNG, the Philippines, and Sri Lanka through the regional Peer Support Group (PSG). The ROAP also provided direct inputs into the draft documents CCAs and UNSDCFs for Cambodia and the Philippines at the request of the UNCTs, in addition to providing direct support and tools to UN Women offices to ensure that that our efforts at regional level are complemented by the guidance provided to our UN Women offices and their Gender Theme Groups (GTGs);
(iii) Through capacity building of UNCTs on the use of UNCT tools i.e. the UNCT SWAP Gender Equality scorecard and the UNCT Gender Equality Marker (GEM), i.e. tailored trainings to the UNCTs in Bangladesh, China and Timor Leste (including on gender transformative programming linked to the UNCT GEM. Additionally, in collaboration with OHCHR, UNFPA, UNDP, and UNICEF, UN Women ROAP carried out 3 out of 4 sessions on piloting the Gender Theme Group Standards and Procedures with the participation of UNCTs Bangladesh, China, Pacific, and Vietnam.
