About our work

ECA RO Banner Image

UN Women has offices in 12 countries and territories in the Europe and Central Asia (ECA) region across three subregions (Western Balkans and Turkey, Eastern Europe and South Caucasus, and Central Asia)[1]. The office also serves as a member of UN Country Teams in five countries where it is a Non-Resident Agency (NRA)[2].

UN Women’s Regional Office for Europe and Central Asia’s regional strategy and programming aims to address the root causes of inequality across all thematic areas:

  • Governance and participation in public life
  • Women’s economic empowerment
  • Ending violence against women and girls
  • Women, peace and security, humanitarian action, disaster risk reduction

Our work focuses on four transformative areas of change. These four areas align fully with the Strategic Plan thematic areas and seven cross-cutting outcomes and UN Women’s commitments and priorities:

  • Advancing implementation and financing of evidence-based normative frameworks and policies
  • Ensuring that women and girls fully and equally participate in leadership and decision-making processes and benefit from gender-responsive governance
  • Ensuring that women and girls live a life free from all forms of discrimination, violence and harmful social norms
  • Enabling the UN system to demonstrate greater accountability to advance progress on gender equality and women’s empowerment

A strong Leave No One Behind and intersectional approach is applied, particularly in regional programming. Priorities are selected based on UN Women’s comparative strengths and advantages by partners during consultation process.
