Enhanced coordination, coherence and accountability of the UN system for commitments to gender equality and women’s empowerment
Through its UN system coordination mandate and its chairpersonship of Gender Technical Reference (GTRG) and PSEA Group (GTRG/PSEA), UN Women continued to leverage on the coordination and accountability mechanisms to strengthen gender equality and women's empowerment within the UNCT under the delivering as one Principle. UN Women in collaboration with RCO enhanced the capacity of the GTRG/PSEA Group in gender scorecard as an accountability tool of the UNCT which led to the production, validation, and submission of the comprehensive SWAP Gender scorecard assessment and action plan in January 2022 and the UNCT gender scorecard report in December 2022. In 2022, UNCT SWAP gender scorecard report focused on 5 indicators where the UNCT had scored low (approaching minimum standards or missing). The 2022 assessment showed that, 4 out of the 5 indicators ‘’Approaches Minimum Requirements’’ and one ‘’Meets Minimum Requirements’’. The CO will continue to advocate for the UNCT-SWAP gender score card recommendations compliance. Furthermore, UN Women CO leveraged its UN coordination mandate and led the development of the CEDAW CONFIDENTIAL Report in collaboration with RCO and the GTRG/PSEA Group. This report submitted to the UN Inter-Agency working group in Geneva helped the Geneva team to identify key issues for the Government of Rwanda's consideration and comment before the official consideration of the report by the CEDAW Committee. UN Women also maintained its coordination role of the joint programme on gender bringing together 6 UN Agencies (UN Women, UNDP, UNFPA, UNICEF, IOM, UNHCR), the National gender machinery institutions under the leadership of the Ministry of Gender and Family Promotion (MIGEPROF) and different other government and CSOs which provide a coordinated space for advocacy on gender equality and the empowerment of women in Rwanda.Disclaimer and notes
