Background

UN Women, grounded in the vision of equality enshrined in the Charter of the United Nations, works for the elimination of discrimination against all 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.

The overarching goal of UN Women Ukraine is to empower women and girls and ensure full enjoyment of their human rights towards a peaceful and gender equal society in Ukraine. The implementation of the UN Women Ukraine Country Strategy (2018-2022) is guided by key international gender equality and women’s human rights norms and standards. UN Women’s work in Ukraine focuses on supporting the government, parliament and civil society in advancing gender equality and implementation of the national and international commitments.? Through its normative support functions, UN Women assists Ukraine in implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals, recommendations of the Universal Periodic Review, implementation of the Convention on Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW) and? other human rights treaty body recommendations on women’s human rights, Beijing Platform for Actions and the outcome documents of its reviews, and the UN Security Council Resolutions on Women, Peace and Security, among other normative frameworks.

Ukraine ratified the key international instruments on human rights, gender equality and women’s rights, including the Convention on Elimination of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW) in 1980, joined the Beijing Declaration (BPFA) and ratified the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination (ICERD) in 1994. Country adopted and localized the SDGs, accomplished the baseline report and is in the process of developing the mechanism for SDGs implementation through sectoral policies and programmes. Gender equality is enshrined in the Constitution and Ukraine and adopted a solid policy and legal framework. The Government developed the National Strategy on Human Rights and the Action Plan (2016-2020). The 2018-2020 saw several policy advancements on gender equality. The Cabinet of Ministers for the first time included gender equality priorities in the Government Plan and the Annual National Program under the auspice of the Ukraine-NATO Commission in 2018 and kept them in the next plans and programs. The Government also adopted the National Action Plan on the CEDAW Concluding Observations[1] and the State Programme on Equal Rights and Opportunities for Women and Men by 2021[2], which builds on the BPfA, SDGs and CEDAW, and integrates the measures to address multiple forms of discrimination. In October 2020 the National Action Plan 1325 of the second generation was adopted.

Despite of these significant efforts, gender equality and human rights are yet to become an integral part of the reforms, recovery or peacebuilding processes. Gender equality and human rights priorities need to be further mainstreamed in the sectoral policies and plans. The structural barriers to a full realization of human rights and gender equality can be further addressed in the ongoing governance (public administration reform, justice sector reform), and women, peace and security (security sector reform, defense reform).

Since 2017, UN Women is implementing a project “Enhancing accountability for gender equality and women’s empowerment in national development and peacebuilding” is supporting the consolidated efforts of the government, parliament, women’s groups and civil society organisations (CSOs) to meet state commitments on gender equality and women’s rights, including CEDAW, UN Security Council Resolution 1325 on Women, Peace and Security (UNSCR 1325) and SDGs through reforms and peace and security processes.

The project is working to provide the government with the institutional, capacity development and technical support to carry out its ambitious reforms to mainstream gender and women’s human rights, and to ensure that the conflict’s profound impact on gender relations and roles informs policy-making. The project specifically targets public administration, justice, security sector and defence sector reforms.

The human rights-based approach is well integrated throughout? the project and makes every effort to engage with and strengthen the voice of women in policy making and reforms and guided by the international human rights treaties and is based on a theory of change which articulates the causal linkages and actions required by the government, parliament, civil society, UN Women and other international development partners to achieve transformative change in the lives of women in Ukraine.

The overall project goal is to achieve transformative results for gender equality and women’s empowerment in Ukraine by integrating gender equality and women’s human rights commitments into the national reforms and the peace and security processes, and by putting mechanisms in place for adequate financing, implementation, monitoring and evaluation.

The theory of change stipulates that If 1) governance and national reforms integrate gender equality and WPS commitments; (2) the capacity of the national institutional mechanism on gender equality is strengthened for government-wide mainstreaming of gender in policies and reforms; (3) key government institutions have capacity to implement commitments through sectoral reforms, plans and budgets; (4) oversight and coordination mechanisms for implementation of the gender equality and WPS commitments are set and operational; (5) favourable social attitudes and gender awareness are promoted among duty bearers and rights holders; and (6) women’s groups, having capacity and opportunity, demand for their rights and priorities in reforms then the transformative results for gender equality and women’s empowerment will be achieved because the implementation of the international and national gender equality and WPS commitments will be well coordinated, financed and monitored.

The project is in the final phase of its implementation and as established in the Project Document, a mandatory external final evaluation is to be conducted by UN Women Ukraine Country Office. The project mid-term evaluation was conducted in the middle phase of its implementation in 2019.

To implement this task, UN Women seeks to hire an International Consultant for conducting the gender-responsive final project evaluation, who will work in the team with a local consultant to be hired by UN Women.
