Grounded in the vision of equality enshrined in the Charter of the United Nations, UN Women works for the elimination of discrimination against women and girls, the empowerment of women, and the achievement of gender equality in development, humanitarian action, peace and security.
In line with its 2022-2025 Strategic Plan, UN Women promotes a partnership building approach in advancing Gender Equality and Women’s Empowerment (GEWE) to reach a higher impact. The organization acknowledges the private sector, the development finance institutions, and the high-impact financing sector as key partners in achieving the SDGs. While traditional ODA is receding, these new “nontraditional” partners play a growingly significant role in financing social and economic transformation, especially in Africa.
UN Women’s approach to the private sector envisions enabling and ensuring women’s equal access, participation, voice, agency and safety across all the private sector policies and practices, workplace, marketplace and community and builds its Women’s Empowerment Principles (WEPs) model to promote higher responsibilities to protect and respect women’s rights, increasing financing, resources and long-term investment in GEWE. UN Women also develops and promotes relevant tools and strategies beyond traditional grant mechanisms – including gender responsive budgeting, national investment and financing frameworks with gender targets, gender financing assessments and innovative financing instruments – to further leverage resources for GEWE.
UN Women in West and Central Africa (WCA) operates its mandate in 24 countries, including in middle-income countries such as Senegal, Cote d’Ivoire, Ghana and Nigeria, and other countries where UN Women is a non-resident agency, where the thriving economies, private and finance sectors offer significant opportunities to engage and promote partnerships. While businesses increasingly embrace the SDGs through community support, new financial models and corporate social responsibility initiatives, these sectors’ interest in GEWE remains however low. UN Women sees a unique window to influence these entities in bringing transformative change for women and girls through strategic collaborations, partnerships for innovation and program funding.

Note
In July 2010, the United Nations General Assembly created UN Women, the United Nations Entity for Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women. The creation of UN Women came about as part of the UN reform agenda, bringing together resources and mandates for greater impact. It merges and builds on the important work of four previously distinct parts of the UN system (DAW, OSAGI, INSTRAW and UNIFEM), which focused exclusively on gender equality and women’s empowerment.
