Sobre o evento
While significant progress has been made, achieving the SDG 5 targets for gender equality by 2030 requires sustained efforts to address persistent challenges and drive transformative change.
UNICEF is committed to advancing gender equity both internally and through its sectoral programmes, guided by its Gender Policy and Gender Action Plans. The recent evaluation of these policies applied the gender continuum framework to assess UNICEF’s progress. This approach highlights UNICEF’s shift from traditional gender mainstreaming toward a more comprehensive strategy aimed at achieving transformative gender equality results, including changes in social norms and power dynamics. The evaluation underscores UNICEF’s commitment to gender equity while emphasizing the need for adaptive, inclusive strategies that respond to the complexities of gender in different contexts.
The event will begin with a presentation by Ms. Alix Clark and/or Ms. Emma Haegeman from SDDirect, who will introduce the gender continuum methodology used in the evaluation. Following this, Ms. Erica Mattellone will present key findings, illustrating how the gender continuum framework helped capture UNICEF’s progress in advancing gender equality.
