2022
Enhanced coordination, coherence, and accountability of the UN system for commitments to gender equality and women’s empowerment
In 2022, adequate guidance, tools, and platforms were established or strengthened for enhancing the coordination, coherence, and accountability of the UN system in China, which includes:
1) Well-functioning Gender Theme Group(GTG) co-chaired by UN Women and UNFPA, with clear Terms of Reference(ToR), an elaborated joint workplan and members from 21 UN agencies, has built synergies across the UN system to advance gender equality and contributed to over 10 joint actions for programme support, advocacy, policy dialogue and advice. From September 2022 to January 2023, the GTG has participated in the piloting of GTG Standards and Procedures(S&P) in Asia-Pacific as one of the four piloting UNCTs in the region. Coordinated by UN Women, senior GTG members shared China GTG’s good practice, and provided inputs and feedback for the roll-out.
2) Established working mechanism of an Inter Agency Team (IAT) coordinated by UN Women completed the 2022 annual assessment of Gender Equality Scorecard. 7 performance indicators were reassessed, previous action points were reported back and the action plan was updated to strengthen the system-wide accountability for the UN Country Team (UNCT) towards gender equality and women's empowerment. As follow-up activities for the previous gender scorecard action points, led by the OMT, with technical support from UN Women, an organizational culture survey for all UN in China personnel was conducted and gender parity data was collected in 2022, demonstrating positive trends towards GEWE within the UN system in China.
3) Localized Gender Equality Marker (GEM) guideline was developed by UN Women with inputs from the RCO to facilitate the process of GEM application in the Joint Work Plan planning, implementation, monitoring and reporting, which contributes to mainstream gender in the UNSDCF. Three technical briefing sessions were carried out to the Results Groups and Programme and Monitoring and Evaluation Group as a part of the preparation for the 2023-2024 UNCT Joint Work Plan.
The capacity of key focal points, including GTG, Results Groups, Programme Monitoring and Evaluation Group members, and Thematic Groups, was strengthened through an internal gender training for UN personnel in China, regular group meetings for work discussion and knowledge sharing, as well as technical brief sessions of Gender Scorecard and GEM. As a result, colleagues from all groups have increased knowledge to enhance gender equality and women’s empowerment within and across joint programmes and systematic coordination structures.
Furthermore, UN Women and UNFPA, as co-chairs of Prevention of Sexual Exploitation and Abuse (PSEA) network of UN in China, successfully led the development and implementation of 2022 UN China PSEA Action Plan. In 2022, PSEA network conducted mapping exercise to identify achievements and gaps in PSEA of UN agencies in China, held UN personnel training to ensure in-depth understanding of PSEA, and held the first implementing partners training in China, which strengthened the collaboration on PSEA between UN and partners in China. As a result, all the participants from across the UN system and 162 participants from 87 implementing partners were informed of PSEA issues, their rights and obligations towards PSEA, and available measures and remedies against prohibited conduct, towards creating a more harmonious work environment conducive to all staff irrespective of gender and other factors of social diversity.
