Background |
|
The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development places gender equality at its core to achieve the SDGs, with the elimination of violence against women and girls as a crucial component. To that end, the United Nations (UN) has embarked on a new multi-year programme with generous support from the European Union (EU), called the ‘Spotlight Initiative to Eliminate Violence against Women and Girls’. The Spotlight Initiative is modelling a new way of working on the SDGs, in line with objectives of the United Nations development system reforms to enhance integrated delivery of results at the country level. The Spotlight Initiative also aligns with the EU Gender Action Plan, and the EU has committed an initial contribution of €500 million to the programme. The initiative will deploy targeted, large-scale investments in a focused number of countries aimed at achieving significant impact in the lives of women and girls. Having the highest level of commitment globally, the initiative is governed by the UN Deputy Secretary General and the Vice President of the EU Commission. The Spotlight Initiative is a flagship programme under the UN Reform, showing how the UN will work together towards a common goal, and a targeted investment in a usually underfunded SDG (SDG 5). For the Caribbean, an initial contribution of €50 million has been committed benefitting five Caribbean Countries as well as a regional programme. Grenada is one of the five Caribbean Countries that is receiving a share of the regional funding envelope. UN Women, grounded in the vision of equality enshrined in the Charter of the United Nations, works for the elimination of discrimination against women and girls; the empowerment of women; and the achievement of equality between women and men as partners and beneficiaries of development, human rights, humanitarian action and peace and security. As one of the Recipient UN Organisations for the Grenada Spotlight Initiative, UN Women is responsible for technical coherence and manages the Programme Coordination and Implementation Unit for the Programme. The Government of Grenada, Carriacou and Petite Martinique and Civil Society have made a number of systematic advances in legislation and policy frameworks and national action plans, as well as programmatic efforts to address gender inequality, and women and girls’ human rights. Despite these advances, however, violence against women and girls continues to be a pervasive problem throughout the country. The Grenada Spotlight Initiative (SI) is designed to focus attention, coordinate human effort, and strategically apply resources to the implementation of a well-conceived comprehensive national programme to end family violence and all forms of violence against women and girls. The Grenada Spotlight Initiative was developed in broad consultation with Government and Civil Society, and an integrated Technical Team from ILO, UNICEF, UNDP, UNFPA, UN Women and PAHO/WHO. The programme is built on the six pillars of the SI, with special emphasis on Prevention and Essential Services.
The Grenada Spotlight Initiative will contribute to the achievement of gender equality, peace, social inclusion and protection of human rights, which are catalytic for sustainable development (particularly SDGs 5 and 16) and inclusive growth, in accordance with Agenda 2030, as well as the priority areas of the UN Multi-Country Sustainable Development Framework. The Initiative will contribute to the implementation of Grenada’s Gender Equality Policy and Action Plan (GEPAP) and the National Sustainable Development Plan 2035. The Grenada Spotlight Initiative is entering Phase II which ends in December 2023. It is building on lessons learned from implementation of Phase I, as well as former and existing programmes with its partners, to address bottlenecks hindering progress. It is also building on achievements made to ensure a successful country programme with visible and sustainable gains to end violence against women and girls (EVAWG) in Grenada.
