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.
UN Women Ethiopia’s Country Office Strategic Note (SN 2021-2025) is derived from and contributes to the United Nations Sustainable Development Cooperation Framework (UNSCDF 2020-2025), which outlines the United Nations vision and strategic focus in Ethiopia. The UNSDCF supports the Government of Ethiopia’s (GoE) development and humanitarian priorities, as articulated in the Ten-Year Perspective Development Plan - Ethiopia 2030: The Pathways to Prosperity (2020 – 2030) and related national policies and plans. The SN’s orientation and thematic focus areas are grounded in UN Women’s global Strategic Plan (2021-2025) and aligned to major international and African regional development and gender commitments.
The UN Women Ethiopia Country Office’s program contributes to the UN’s shared goals in supporting the Government of Ethiopia to achieve its sustainable development and humanitarian priorities, and commitments to the 2030 Development Agenda. Four strategic priorities are identified in the United Nations Sustainable Development Cooperation Framework (UNSDCF) 2020-2025 that address multidimensional poverty, inequalities, social exclusion, and marginalization, with a focus on youth, women, and girls; supporting the transition to an inclusive and diversified economy; deepening Ethiopia’s democratic transition and promoting peace; and promoting a green and resilient economy. These priorities comprise the outcomes that the UN development system, including UN Women ECO, will work to accomplish.
As part of the contributions to the Ethiopian National Development Priorities in an inclusive manner, UN Women in Ethiopia work focuses on 5 strategic pillars in both development and humanitarian spheres : Women in leadership and governance , Women’s economic empowerment and Financing for Gender Equality through Gender Responsive Budgeting , Elimination of Violence Against Women and Girls as well as Women’s engagement and participation in Peace and Security and Humanitarian Action .
These strategic priorities are implemented in targeted regions mainly through implementing partners but over the last 2 years UN Women has been establishing more proximity to communities through sub-offices and/or secondments. In addition to a technical secondment to Amhara Regional Bureau of Women and Social Affairs, A sub-office for Tigray regional state is operational since Mid-2023 and the next to open is Somali regional state UN Women Sub-office to implement UN Women priorities in both humanitarian action and development across Somali region.
