UN Women is the global champion for gender equality, working to develop and uphold standards and create an environment in which every woman and girl can exercise her human rights and live up to her full potential. We are trusted partners for advocates and decision-makers from all walks of life, and a leader in the effort to achieve gender equality.
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.
Following the Independent Review of the United Nations System’s Capacity to Deliver on Gender Equality and a thorough examination of all the recommendations by a Task Team comprised of 12 Entities (including UN Women).
It guided by an external High-level Facilitator, the United Nations System-Wide Gender Equality Acceleration Plan (GEAP) was defined and agreed by an Advisory Group, including the principals of these entities.
The Acceleration Plan calls for a principled, strategic and norms-based approach to advance and prevent further rollback of the rights of women and girls. To this effect, it seeks the internal transformation of power dynamics, leadership approaches, strategies, priorities, structures and the accountability of the United Nations to better deliver for women and girls.
The GEAP was launched on March 7, 2024, by the UN Secretary-General who called on UN entities to ensure its full implementation across two phases.
The first phase, ending in March 2025 (CSW69) is focused on culture change and concrete action.
In line with this, the work around the GEAP is driven by five key accelerators: 1) a clarion call; (2) gender-responsive leadership; (3) accountability measures; (4) resourcing; and (5) action with all stakeholders for a systemwide pivot to gender equality.
The Secretariat of the Gender Equality Acceleration Plan will be housed within UN Women and will report directly to the UN Women Executive Director.
In line with guidance received from the UN Women Executive Director, the GEAP Task Team and the United Nations System-Wide Gender Steering Group (GSG), the Secretariat will support and monitor the implementation of the GEAP and foster cross-UN collaboration to support system-wide accountability, leadership and work on gender equality and women’s empowerment. The GEAP Secretariat will consist of an External Senior Advisor and full/part-time Technical Officers drawn/seconded from UN WOMEN, UNFPA, OHCHR and UNDP.
The Secretariat will liaise regularly with the Executive Office of the Secretary-General.
Under the direct supervision of the GEAP Head of Secretariat and in close collaboration with the Chief of Staff, the Gender Equality Acceleration Plan Coordinator has the main responsibility for the substantive coordination and day-to-day management of the GEAP Secretariat.

1. Lead strategic planning, oversight and management

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.

At UN Women, we are committed to creating a diverse and inclusive environment of mutual respect.
