UN-SWAP 2.0 framework and technical guidance

While the first phase of UN-SWAP implementation focused on gender mainstreaming and planning, the second phase is designed to focus on results, and includes monitoring activities and outcomes for gender-related Sustainable Development Goal results.

Upon expiry of the initial UN-SWAP duration, the UN-SWAP 2.0 was developed with widespread consultation across UN system entities and launched in 2018. It updated and expanded UN-SWAP 1.0, building into it refinements and lessons learned, as well as aligning it with the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, with its focus on results.

Key changes to questions for 2023 reporting are highlighted in yellow in the data collection table:

PI 9: extended two questions on type of GEM scale and type of ERP to entities approaching requirements.
PI 10: the financial benchmark format should be expressed as a percentage for entities meeting or exceeding requirements. It could be expressed either as a number or as a percentage for entities approaching requirements.
PI 11: the request to quantify the “Total cost of gender advisors (those that are not included in the gender unit)" is no longer mandatory.
PI 15: added two new questions regarding tailored trainings for gender focal points and for technical or programmatic staff, with a suggestion to provide an outline if available.

For UN Secretariat entities, the common input for PI 5 (by OIOS), PI 8 and 13 (by DMSPC) have been provided . Secretariat entities may choose to adopt the common rating/narratives, or expand/revise per their own context.
