Women in Leadership - Phase II UNDP and UN Women recognize hat the achievement of gender equality and women in leadership in Samoa needs sustained long-term investment to overcome the systemic, institutional, cultural, and attitudinal barriers. Responding to the Government of Samoa’s national priorities for gender equality and women’s empowerment, the two agencies are proposing a second phase for the successful Women in Leadership in Samoa (WILS) joint programme that builds on the results achieved and lessons learned from Phase 1 (2018-2022) and accelerates progress. To keep the momentum of critical capacity development initiatives for young and emerging women leaders at the village level, in the public and private sectors and in Parliament while allowing more time for UNDP and UN Women to work with national stakeholders on finetuning and finalizing the planning for the new joint programme phase as well as resource mobilization, UNDP will implement this WILS Phase 2 Initiation Plan (IP) as part of a joint work plan with UN Women from 1 January to 30 June. The IP is funded by the Government of Aotearoa New Zealand, Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade (MFAT) through the UN Pacific Strategy Fund (UNPSF).Under this IP, UNDP will work with the Ministry of Women, Community and Social Development, Ministry of Public Enterprises, Samoa Institute of Directors, Samoan language experts, Nuanua O Le Alofa and other partners to successfully deliver interventions aimed at increasing women’s representation and participation as directors in public and private sector boards, and building and strengthening public speaking skills and confidence of young, emerging women leaders to confidently use the official Samoanoratory language for communication purposes with any audience especially in formal settings.Consequently, these women leaders will have increased capacity to confidently converse with Parliamentarians, public officials of high rank, village chiefs and others to express their perspect

Strengthening Birth Registration And Civil Registration and Vital Statistics (CRVS)system in Samoa The project is supported by the Government of Samoa and takes into consideration national priorities with a focus on digital transformation. The interventions proposed adopt an innovative, localized, and streamlined approach with the aim to strengthen the birth registration and Civil Registration and Vital Statistics (CRVS) system in Samoa. These will directly contribute towards Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 16, specifically target 16.9 which aims to provide a legal identity for all, including birth registration, by 2030. It will also contribute towards the complementary target 17.9, that calls for support to countries in building the capacity needed to establish robust national civil registration systems.The project aligns with commitment expressed under UN Pacific Strategy Fund (UNPSF) Outcome 5 on Governance and Community Engagement, including the strengthening of the birth registration and CRVS system. UNDP will work with the Samoa Bureau of Statistics (SBS), Ministry of Communication and Information Technology (MCIT), Ministry of Women, Community and Social Development (MWCSD) and other partners who are part of the CRVS Committee to successfully deliver this project. Of note, this Project is an Initiation Plan (IP) with a duration of six months, which will establish the groundwork for a multi-year joint programme with UNICEF on implementing the CRVS system in Samoa. The IP as such constitutes UNDP’s programme component in a joint work plan for 2023 with UNICEF, which is funded by the Government of Aotearoa New Zealand, Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade, through the UNPSF.
