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.
UN Women Ethiopia’s Country Office Strategic Note 2021-2025 is derived from and contributes to the United Nations Sustainable Development Cooperation Framework (UNSCDF 2020-2025), which outlines the United Nation’s vision and strategic focus in Ethiopia.

The UN Women Ethiopia Country Office’s program contributes to the UN’s shared goals in supporting the Government of Ethiopia to achieve its sustainable development and humanitarian priorities, and commitments to the 2030 Development Agenda.

These priorities comprise the outcomes that the UN development system, including UN Women ECO, will work to accomplish.
