Strategic Note Outcome Progress NoteShowing data of :
2022
UN-Women effectively leverages and expands its partnerships, communications and advocacy capabilities to increase support for and financing of the gender equality agenda, while securing sustainable resourcing for the delivery of its own mandate
There has been substantive progress on this output cluster during the reporting period.
In 2022, increased engagements with youth, civil society, donors and media as well as quality communication and knowledge products have opened new avenues for UN Women for financing for the gender equality (GE) agenda. The quality communication and knowledge products including the Photo Essay showcasing stories of resilience to commemorate 50 years of Bangladesh's independence, Gender Equality brief , Joint Inclusion Pledge , video message series with donors and Strategic Note presentations to five development partners (Canada, European Union, Germany, Sweden and the United States) have positioned UN Women to be a key leader on GE. As a result, new discussions with donors for funding opportunity are taking place which will eventually support mobilizing new resources. In addition, UN Women’s leadership in highlighting the gender equality dimensions in emergency response has enabled securing funding from Central Emergency Response Fund (CERF) to respond to the GE needs during the flash floods of 2022 that severely affected marginalized communities in north-eastern Bangladesh.
Visibility has been increased through UN Women’s strategic engagement with the government in campaigning for 16 Days of Activism , engagement with the Speaker of Parliament and parliamentarians , bringing in civil society organizations (CSOs), grassroots voices and reiterating development partner commitments. Additionally, a cohort of national media representatives, including editors and deputy editors, has been formed through strategic engagement with media that is aimed at promoting GE and strengthening reporting against gender-based violence (GBV) through media. GE thematic priorities have been highlighted at a national level through joint op-eds published in the country’s leading English newspaper (on Violence against Women ; on Women’s Unpaid Care Work ).
The Youth Mobilization Action Plan was implemented with meaningful engagement of young community leaders , students , and feminists to amplify their voices in advancing GE agenda. UN Women’s advocacy on climate change, and GBV have been strengthened by engaging with inter-generational feminists, climate change activists, CSOs and the government. Young women have now enhanced knowledge on digital safety, digital literacy, social awareness, and appropriate policies through UN Women’s engagement with Brac University and CSO platforms.
Key lesson learned include the need to expand and effectively engage wider audience on key GE priorities, which are highlighted, for example, during the 16 Days of Activism commemoration. In 2022, apart from engaging with the government, development partners and other key stakeholders as in previous years during the commemoration, UN Women’s strategic engagement with media also enabled the latter to reflect on the skewed gender parity issues within their own media houses.
