Background:

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's triple mandate, along with its global network and deep policy and programming expertise, continues to endow the Entity with a unique capacity to: (i) support Member States to strengthen global norms and standards for gender equality and women's empowerment, and mainstream gender perspectives in other thematic areas; (ii) promote coordination and coherence across the UN system to enhance accountability and results for gender equality and women's empowerment; and (iii) undertake operational activities to support Member States, upon their request, in translating global norms and standards into legislation, policies and strategies at country level.

UN Women plays an innovative and catalytic role in the State of Palestine since its inception in 1997 (as UNIFEM). In line with the national priorities, the work of UN Women for the period 2023-2025 is aligned with three of the Palestine United Nations Sustainable Development Cooperation Framework's (UNSDCF) outcomes:

- Palestinians have greater access to economic opportunities that are inclusive, resilient, and sustainable, including decent employment and livelihood opportunities in an empowered private sector.
- Palestinians, including the most vulnerable, have equal access to sustainable, inclusive, gender responsive, and quality social services, social protection, and affordable utilities.
- Palestinian governance institutions, processes, and mechanisms at all levels are more democratic, rights-based, inclusive, and accountable.
Its three-year Strategic Note supports the efforts to achieve measurable results in country in terms of four UN Women global Strategic Plan impacts (2022-2025): SP Impact 1 - Governance and participation in public life; SP Impact 2 - Women's Economic Empowerment; SP Impact 3 - Ending Violence Against Women and Girls and SP Impact 4 - Women peace and security, Humanitarian & Disaster Risk Reduction.

Due to its specific nature, characterized by a chronic conflict interspersed with periods of intense and often, geographically specific conflict, the UN Women portfolio in Palestine tackles both development work and humanitarian assistance. Within the last decade, UN Women in Palestine has made significant progress towards mobilizing the resources and efforts of national and international partners around the promotion of gender equality and women's human rights within the framework of national priorities. A holistic approach to programming and close links with national partners from policy to community levels enabled UN Women to provide meaningful and, when needed, rapid response. Over time and to address institutionalization of gender equality, UN Women in Palestine has been working closely with the Government, development and humanitarian actors, civil society, UN agencies, and donors.

Background:

As a trusted multilateral partner serving 177 countries and territories around the world, UNDP is uniquely positioned to help advocate for change, connect countries to the knowledge and resources they need to develop and to coordinate the efforts of the United Nations at the country level. 

The Results-Based Management (RBM) strategy of the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) is a comprehensive approach to planning, implementing, monitoring, and evaluating development programmes, portfolios, and projects. RBM focuses on achieving measurable results and impacts by improving, with other internal interventions, the organization's effectiveness, accountability, and ability to be agile and anticipatory in achieving greater development impact. 

There are three areas of focus for the RBM Strategy:

• To provide guidance in the RBM approach of UNDP on a digital platform,

• To update and integrate the PPM policies with the RBM approach as required,

• To provide practice building through a dedicated RBM Hub.

The Strategic Plan (2022- 2025) commits UNDP to "investing in enabling capacities and approaches that can scale up development impact... to build the agile, anticipatory organization its partners expect". The Strategic Plan further commits UNDP to: "Impact measurement: traditional, linear results-based management has not evolved to measure new ways of working and the outcomes of a portfolio approach. Work is underway to develop systems of monitoring, evaluation, and results measurement better suited to these new ways of working, that value learning as results, and can track transformative change and its enablers, like changing social norms, over longer timespans." (Para 82)

The upgrade of the RBM strategy, with UNDP investments in People, Digital, Knowledge, Enterprise Risk Management, and Quantum amongst others, will be a significant drive towards achieving this vision in UNDP and, through a holistic approach for all six areas of investment, transforming UNDP into a more agile and anticipatory organization geared towards development impact.

The International Finance Corporation (IFC) has embarked on an ambitious strategy to stimulate more investment activity by Creating Markets, including in Low-Income Countries and Fragile and Conflict Situations.
