Transformation of inequitable gender norms and power disparities between women and men, and empowerment of women and girls to thrive as equals;
Holistic responses that address women and girls’ inter-related rights and needs, including safety, access to health, education and economic security;
Focus on disadvantaged groups, including those living in poverty or otherwise especially excluded, and ensuring responsiveness to diversity;
Coordination and multi-sectorial partnerships, including among government organizations, nongovernmental organizations, women’s and other civil society groups;
Commitment to sharing knowledge, by documenting, evaluating and disseminating results, and working with UN Women staff in the process;
Priority placed on sustainability of results;
Communication and visibility in line with the programme communication strategy, which will be defined at the stage of project proposal finalization.
