Using the Gender Continuum to Assess UNICEF Gender Policy and Gender Action Plans
Generate evidence to inform UNICEF’s future strategic direction on gender equality and guide the development of the next UNICEF Strategic Plan
About
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.
