UN Women Strategic Plan 2026–2029

The Strategic Plan 2026-2029 will guide UN Women for the next four years. It articulates how UN Women will leverage its unique triple mandate-encompassing normative support, UN system coordination, and operational activities-to mobilize urgent and sustained action to achieve gender equality and the empowerment of all women and girls and support the achievement of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.

The Strategic Plan is based on key findings from an extensive consultative process and draws from the analysis of lessons learned and recommendations from evaluations, audits, and other assessments, including those from the 30-year review and appraisal of the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action.

Given the interconnected nature of global challenges, UN Women will focus on integrated approaches with three systemic outcomes to address the root causes of inequality and affect broader systems change, across four impact areas:

• Women's leadership and decision-making
• Women's economic empowerment
• Ending violence against women and girls
• Women, peace and security, and humanitarian action

The "Integrated results and resources framework" outlines the specific results that UN Women aims to achieve and their respective set of indicators.
