SN OEE Output Area 4: UN Women Programme Presence Operations and Management Systems deliver client-focused services and quality results
There has been significant progress in resource mobilisation. Successful grants approved during this semester were the "Measuring Opportunity for Women in Peace Operations (MOWIP)", "ACCESS Phase II", and a regional project "Gender-Responsive COVID-19 Prevention and Response". These grants have enabled the Cambodia team to expand its programme portfolio to women participating in peacekeeping operations and COVID-19 response to marginalised groups such as women migrant workers and women living with HIV/AIDS, and to continue its ending violence against women work. The Cambodia programme team has strong capacity in programme management, implementation, and operations. With this strong capacity, the three new projects were established and set up in the DAMS, PGAMS, ATLAS and RMS completely. Further the programme management functions such as staff recruitment and selecting service providers for programme implementation has been progressing gradually. There has also not been an aging advance. Regularly monthly staff and programme led meetings are held and provide a forum for sharing updates, learning about on-going programmes and operations including good practices. The meetings also provide an opportunity to understand workloads and identify and provide backstopping for programmes and operations when relevant. Emerging challenges can also be identified, and risk mitigation measures implemented as needed to prevent disruptions or delays. There has been a good coordination for UN personnel and dependents to receive the 4th and 5th dose of the COVID 19 vaccination. UN Women Cambodia has remained active in COVID-19 prevention and response and is fully complying with WHO's guidance. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) (masks, gels, sanitizers) and Rapid Tests have been supplied in the office. The UN Women Cambodia programme and operations teams have adhered to corporate compliance. Two partner audits of the Safe and Fair programme have been completed and the recommendations from the audits have been implemented accordingly. With updated compliance knowledge and capacity, the Cambodia team has effectively monitored compliance including financial management, risk analysis and partners Faceform/Trend of the spending plans. Ongoing coaching and technical support to the partners in regard to checking balances, financial support documents, accuracy and consistency of the financial records have been maintained throughout the semester. This support has contributed to strengthening the capacity of the partners to better provide financial reports in a timely manner and fully comply with the UN Women finance policy. UN Women office facilities have been regularly monitored and maintained and as a result the office has remained fully functioned despite the challenges of COVID-19. Office equipment including furniture and ITC have been provided to UN Women staff to implement the working from home modality when required.Showing 6 - 6 of 6
