Achieving gender parity requires a multi-faceted approach that analyzes the challenges and opportunities specific to each entity. While targets are important, gender parity is not just about numbers. UN Women has created the following resources to help you develop your implementation plan and make parity a reality. Please remember, every good implementation plan starts with accurate data, therefore please make sure to benefit from the UN Secretariat Gender Parity Dashboard and the UN System-wide Dashboard on Gender Parity.

The Secretary-General’s System-wide Strategy on Gender Parity recommends all UN system entities to align or develop specific gender strategies and implementation plans, which include specific targets, measures, and resources, to reach the goals and reflect the recommendations of the Strategy. This template sets out a simple framework for addressing the different facets of the System-wide Strategy. This tool is meant to serve as a starting point for designing and implementing a plan to achieve gender parity by 2028.
