Historique

Grounded in the vision of equality enshrined in the Charter of the United Nations, UN Women 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. Placing women’s rights at the centre of all its efforts, UN Women leads and coordinates United Nations System’s efforts to ensure that commitments on gender equality and gender mainstreaming translate into action throughout the world. UN Women provides strong and coherent leadership in support of Member States’ priorities and efforts, building effective partnerships with civil society and other relevant actors.

UN Women has established a programme for South Sudan that targets 3 key Result Areas: (1) enhanced women Leadership and participation in gender responsive governance; (2) increased access to women’s empowerment and opportunities; (3) Improved protection and security for women and girls. Increased women’s access education opportunities will be cross-cutting and supports all the three pillars.

The Women’s leadership and gender-responsive governance will support actions that enhance women’s effective leadership and participation in decision-making and governance at national, state and local government structures and processes. The component will also support gender responsive governance, which is vital for equitable delivery of basic services to women and men. In addition, the capacity of women leaders in national and state legislatures will be strengthened to enhance individual responsiveness to gender equality issues and women’s concerns, and effective performance in legislative processes through leadership skills training. Support will also be channeled to engender the planning and budgeting processes as well as enhancing institutional and organisational capacity of women’s organisations to deliver on their mandate and to lobby, advocate and demand the gender responsive governance.
