UN Women Call for Proposals: Civil Society Shadow Reporting on Implementation of Secretary-General’s System-wide Strategy on Gender Parity
Deadline: 14-Sep-20
UN Women’s Office of the Focal Point for Women in the UN system is looking for a Responsible Party (RP) to conduct a civil society shadow reporting on the implementation of the Secretary-General’s System-wide Strategy on Gender Parity.
The power of writing proposals is in your hands
The Strategy identifies shadow reporting on the overall Strategy as a significant element to increase transparency and accountability and therefore encourages UN Women to work with civil society partners to undertake it.
The main product of this project will be an initial civil society shadow report which reviews the overall progress on the implementation of the Secretary-General’s System-wide Strategy on Gender Parity (including the different areas of the Strategy such as leadership and accountability, senior appointments, mission settings, etc.) and suggests recommendations for strengthening implementation and stronger monitoring.
This entails working with other parts of the UN system including the Secretariat, peacekeeping missions and special political missions, UN funds, and programs as well as specialized agencies in both Headquarters and field locations. The overall objective is to strengthen transparency and accountability regarding the implementation of the Strategy.
