Gender Equality and Women’s Empowerment Capacity Assessment

The objective of the Gender Equality and Women’s Empowerment (GEWE) Capacity Assessment was to determine the capacity, needs and abilities of United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) personnel1 to mainstream gender equality and women's empowerment perspectives into their respective projects and policies. In addition, the GEWE capacity assessment (GCA) was to determine the personnel’s knowledge of UNEP’s Policy on Gender Equality and the Environment (2014-2017) and the organization’s Gender Architecture. The assessment was rolled-out from June to August 2021 by UNEP’s Gender and Safeguards Unit (GSU).
