Advancing SDGs: UN Women's impact and key achievements
In 2024, UN Women achieved a significant outcome related to the economic empowerment of women through value chain development, that contributed to the advancement of the Sustainable Development Goals 1, 2, 5, 8, 9 and 12. A total of 7,841 persons (7,017 women and 824 men) benefitted directly from different value chains as per the table below:

Support included materials, financial management, entrepreneurship training, and market access, leading to income increases of up to 42%. Compared to 2023, when 4,923 women improved their incomes, the impact has grown. Women also gained leadership skills, with 72% of those supported by CREOP JEUNES enhancing their leadership practices. Additionally, awareness campaigns were conducted in partnership with the SENAT to encourage women's participation in elections.
Increased household incomes allowed 80% of women to provide for their families' education, nutrition, and healthcare. Improvements in palm oil production—from artisanal to semi-industrial—are expected to significantly boost income, with projections of up to 2,000 USD daily once infrastructure is completed. Furthermore, 60% of women's groups established new distribution channels, such as direct sales and wholesaler partnerships, increasing revenue.
These efforts contributed to poverty reduction and gender equality in 10 out of 18 provinces in Burundi. Collaboration between UN Women, government ministries, technical services, suppliers, and local partners was essential in maximizing impact and strengthening women’s economic empowerment in alignment with the SDGs.
