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 Sudan’s 2026–2028 Strategic Note (SN) aims to ensure that women and girls experience greater peace, safety, and prosperity through targeted humanitarian response, meaningful participation in peace and security, inclusive economic growth and strengthened protection. Guided by four integrated Gender Equality Accelerators: Ending Violence Against Women and Girls; strengthening women’s leadership, access, and protection in humanitarian settings; advancing the Women, Peace and Security agenda; and promoting women’s economic empowerment within informal-sector value chains, the Country Office will deliver flexible, conflict-sensitive, and evidence-based programming adapted to Sudan’s volatile context. UN Women Sudan will strengthen partnerships at multiple levels including collaboration with the Ministry of Social Development, the Ministry of Justice, and transitional authorities to support the institutionalization of gender-sensitive protection and peace frameworks.
Locally, partnerships with women-led organizations (WLOs) will scale up community-based initiatives such as Women’s Situation Rooms and Women’s Peace Committees, while providing safe spaces, psychosocial support, and legal assistance in high-risk regions like Darfur, Kordofan, and Blue Nile.
The Country
Office will also engage the private sector and microfinance institutions to create economic opportunities and expand financial access for displaced and rural women. Funding diversification will be pursued through participatory engagement with donors, government actors, WLOs, and civil society, while strengthening communications and coordination.
The implementation of the 2026–2028 Strategic Note (SN) will be supported by strengthened coordination, inclusive targeting of young women and women with disabilities, and investments in institutional capacity, partnerships, risk management, staff well-being, and robust planning, monitoring and reporting systems to ensure effective, agile, and high-quality delivery of results.
