There has been notable progress on this outcome in the first year of SN 2023-27 implementation. Firstly, a total of 300 women led Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) have started digital financial transactions benefitting their business to transact digitally. This has helped them to access digital financial services to expand their business. In addition, Merchant Management System, the digital payment system of Nepal Clearing House Limited has been engendered by introducing gender field in the system and making it mandatory for the banking institutions to enter gender details while passing information of merchants. To this end, UN Women provided with technical and financial support in partnership with UNCDF. This is strategic interventions to capture gender information of MSMEs using digital payment system and inform the larger policy instruments to close gender digital divide. Secondly, the agenda of gender equality and women’s empowerment (GEWE) and the invisibility and barriers of unpaid care and domestic work has been captured in the guidance note of the 16 th National Periodic Plan as a result of UN Women’s ongoing advocacy and assessment of barriers of women to the economic transformation. It was also supplemented by the memorandum of women led MSMEs submitted to the government capturing the voices and representation of women from all provinces demanding the solutions and recommendations to women led business. This was facilitated by Federation of Women Entrepreneurs Association of Nepal with technical and financial support from UN Women. Thirdly, private sectors have started advocating for and promoting GEWE agenda in Nepal. In 2023, nine companies have applied for the Women’s Economic Empowerment Principles (WEPs) signatories established by UN Women. Among them, three have been approved and published in WEPS portal. This was facilitated by UN Women engaging key private sector actors including the Global Compact Nepal, Stock Exchange Nepal and International Finance Corporation to promote gender equality through Ring the Bell event 2023 on the theme “DigitAll: Innovation and Technology for Gender Equality”.Disclaimer and notes
