Strategic Note Outcome Progress NoteShowing data of :
2022
UN-Women efficiently and effectively discharges of all business processes that advance integrated delivery of its mandate at HQ, Regional and Country levels, including through shared services
UN Women's position as a thought leader on gender equality and women's empowerment was further strengthened due to substantial contribution to the UN Country Team, leveraging the agency's coordination mandate. Commitment to prioritizing gender parity across the UN Country Team has been declared by senior management across agencies in light of the UNCT Gender Parity Strategy and the UNCT Capacity Development Plan that have been developed by the Gender Equality Theme Group, co-chaired by UN Women. Quality knowledge products contributed to the national discourse on gender equality, in particular the Time Use Survey, which provided national data on unpaid care and domestic work for the first time in Bangladesh.
The office's internal capacity for efficient and effective programme management was strengthened with the creation of a Planning, Monitoring, and Reporting Analyst position in 2022.
Quality evaluation of the country office’s interventions in 2022 has demonstrated the effectiveness of the key interventions. For instance, the evaluation of the UN SDG Joint Programme on social protection of female tea garden workers in Bangladesh, implemented by four UN agencies, including UN Women, revealed that the “gender talk” on social norms and stereotypes that strengthened leadership capacity for women to raise their voice against violence, was one of the most effective initiatives undertaken by the joint programme. This would potentially inform future programme design for tea workers, who remain amongst the most vulnerable populations in the country. The Strategic Note evaluability assessment has provided an overview of the feasibility of the Strategic Note adopted in 2022, in line with the ever-evolving development context in the country.
In 2022, the Country Office’s reporting mechanism has been strengthened through the introduction of structured processes, which have allowed for deeper quality assurance by senior management. In 2023, the Country Office will focus on substantive support to all colleagues while developing reporting inputs so that time and effort taken for reviews can be reduced.
