Historique

In July 2010, the United Nations General Assembly established the United Nations Entity for Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women (UN Women). The creation of UN Women came about as part of the UN reform agenda, consolidating the Organization’s resources and mandates on gender equality for greater impact. The mandate of UN Women brings together four pre-existing entities, calling on UN Women to have universal coverage, strategic presence and ensure closer linkages between the norm setting inter-governmental work and operations at the field level. It entrusts UN Women with a leading role in normative, operational and coordination work on gender equality in the UN system, including women’s political empowerment.

The mandate of UN Women is guided by the Beijing Platform for Action, the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW), the United Nations Millennium Declaration, relevant General Assembly, Economic and Social Council, Commission on the Status of Women and other applicable United Nations instruments, standards and resolutions.

Devoirs et responsabilités

The work of UN Women is focused on responding to its three core mandates:

The evaluation will have three levels of analysis and validation of information:

Level 1 will start with a desk review of information sources on WPP available through corporate UN Women reporting and information systems such as UN Women Annual Reports, donor reports, project documents, existing portfolio analyses on WPP, and relevant evaluations;
Level 2 will involve more in-depth WPP portfolio analysis of a representative sample of 3-4 UN Women-WCA Offices or “country cases”. Level 2 analysis will be primarily based on a document review and supplemented with additional online/skype interviews with the key stakeholders of WPP programs;
Level 3 will involve field visits in a representative sample of 3-4 countries and will deploy a number of evaluation methods ranging from document review, semi-structured interviews, rapid assessment surveys, observation and participatory video methods in a selected country. A comparative case study analysis will be applied to systematically compare and analyze data from case studies to identify, if possible, necessary characteristics and factors for the progress towards results.

In addition; a comparative analysis of key UN partner’s mandates/activities in the area of WPP will be completed as part of the assessment of UN Women-WCA’s comparative advantage in this thematic area in the region
