Support to UN Women Moldova in SN 2021-2022 implementation Stöd till UN Women Moldova för implementering av SN 2021-2022 UNWOMEN har en lång erfarenhet av att hantera komplexa insatser i landet och har kunnat visa på goda resultat. Sverige har haft flera längre goda samarbeten med UNWOMEN i Moldavien. 
Insatsen syftar till att bekämpa rådande ojämlikheter mellan kön genom ett omfattande stöd inom tre strategiska områden: Kvinnligt ledarskap (Women in Leadership),Kvinnors ekonomiska självbestämmande (Women’s Economic Empowerment) och Bekämpandet av våld mot kvinnor och flickor (Violence against Women and Girls).
Interventionen stöds av en bred grupp av de mest relevanta intressenter: regeringen med de viktigaste ministerierna, parlamentet, parlamentets kvinnogrupp, lokala myndigheter, kongressen för lokala myndigheter i Moldavien, det kvinnliga borgmästersnätverket, utomparlamentariska organisationer, kvinnliga ledare och kvinnliga föreningar, jämställdhetsplattformen, paraplyorganisationen för utomparlamentariska organisationer,”ett liv fritt från våld mot kvinnor och flickor”, media, akademin, privat sektor, bilaterala givare (Österrike och Sverige), EU-delegationen, osv. 
Det svenska extrastödet för perioden 2021-2022 kommer att bidra till:
• Ett ytterligare stärkande av UNWOMENs landskontor i Moldavien och dess uppfyllande av dess centrala verksamhetsmandat: normativ, operativ och samordning.
• Konsolidering och utökning av UNWOMENs program för genomförandet av den strategiplanen för Moldavien.
Totalt uppgår det svenska anslaget till en summa av 30 000 000 SEK. 
Programmets totala budget, inklusive alla givares bidrag, uppskattas till 85 579 598 SEK. UN Women has a long term experience in managing complex programmes in the country context and has demonstrated efficient results. Sweden has a long term positive cooperation with UN Women within several earlier and on-going contributions in Moldova.
The contribution is going to address persisting gender inequalities through a comprehensive support to the three Strategic Impact Areas: Women in Leadership, Women’s Economic Empowerment and Eliminating Violence against Women and Girls.
The intervention is supported by a wide group of most relevant stakeholders: the government with key ministries, the Parliament, Women's Parliamentary Caucus, local authorities, Congress of Local Authorities of Moldova, Women Mayors' Network, CSOs, women leaders and women's associations, Gender equality Platform, National Coalition of NGOs "Life Free of Violence against Women and Girls", media, academia, private sector, bilateral donors (Austria and Sweden), EU Delegation, etc.
Proposed additional Swedish support for  the period 2021-2022 will contribute to: 
•	Further strengthening of the capacities of the UN Women Country Office in Moldova in the fulfilment of its core mandates: normative, operational and coordination.
•	Consolidation and scaling up of the UN Women’s Country Office programming capacities for the implementation of the Strategic Note for Moldova. 
The envisaged Swedish contribution is 30 000 000 SEK.
The intervention’s total budget, including all contributors is estimated at about - 85 579 598 MSEK. The proposed project will contribute to the full implementation of the UN Women Moldova Country Strategic Note 2018-2022. UN Women in Moldova will continue focusing on three main areas: strengthening women’s participation in politics and decision making, economic empowerment of women and ending violence against women and girls. 
The project  will contribute to the implementation of the three Development Impact Areas:
1. Women lead, participate in and benefit equally from governance systems
The Outcome under this impact area is: More women fully participate and lead in gender responsive governance processes and institutions. 
2. Women have income security, decent work and economic autonomy
The Outcome under this impact area is Parliament and Government adopt and implement legislation, policies and services that address unpaid domestic and care work and improve income security and decent work for women.
3. All women and girls live a life free from all forms of violence
The Outcome under this impact area is: Parliament and Government adopt and implement laws, policies and strategies to prevent violence against women and girls and deliver quality essential services.
Despite certain progress in strengthened legal and policy framework, improved national capacities service delivery and social mobilization for equal rights and opportunities, equality in daily life is still far from becoming a reality. UN Women will focus on working with existing challenges in the area of education, employment and political engagement, domestic violence/gender-based violence, access to justice, and in sharing, recognizing and valuing the unpaid care work.
