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 has recently signed a Strategic Partnership Framework (SPF) with the Government of the UAE that supports the acceleration of the sustainable development agenda through women's economic empowerment in Africa and Latin America. Under the SPF, in line with UN Women's Gender Equality Accelerator (GEA) on Women and the World of Work, concrete results in supporting women's entrepreneurship and decent work will be advanced in Kenya and Chile, as well as at the global level, through promoting gender-responsive procurement (GRP) in the public and private sectors and fostering enabling markets for women. The GEA adopts a systematic approach for women's economic empowerment that promotes job creation and the full realization of women's rights, agency, leadership and economic autonomy and attainment of decent working conditions free from violence and harassment and tackles discriminatory social and legal norms through policy and programmatic change. Because procurement has a huge potential to shape financial flows and move the needle on gender equality, the GEA leverages GRP, which applies a gender perspective to procurement, in both the public and private sectors. The expected outcome of the SPF component is that governments and private sector organizations adopt gender-responsive procurement laws, legislation and policies and increase procurement spend from women-owned, led and gender-responsive businesses.

The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) is the UN's global development network, advocating for change and connecting countries to knowledge, experience and resources to help people build a better life. We are on the ground in 170 countries and territories, working with Governments and people on their own solutions to global and national development challenges to help empower lives and build resilient nations. The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the pledge to leave no one behind reflect the interconnectedness of health and sustainable development issues such as the widening economic and social inequalities, the climate crisis, rapid urbanisation, the continuing burden of HIV and other infectious diseases (e.g., malaria, tuberculosis, COVID.19), the growing burden of non-communicable diseases and the emergence of health threats. The scope and scale of delivering health and well-being for all demands innovative partnerships and financing. UNDP's partnership with the Global Fund (GF), in line with UNDP's [HIV and Health Strategy 2022-2025: 'Connecting the Dots'](https://www.undp.org/publications/connecting-dots-towards-more-equitable-healthier-and-sustainable-future-undp-hiv-and), makes a vital contribution to UNDP's Strategic Plan 2022-2025, the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the pledge to leave no one behind.

The Multi-Country Western Pacific Integrated HIV/TB Programme supports national and regional efforts across 11 Pacific islands countries (PICs) to scale up and improve the delivery of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and tuberculosis (TB) prevention, treatment, care and support services, with special attention to key and vulnerable population groups, and to mitigate against the impact of COVID-19.
