Annual session 2013

Documents for the Annual Session of the UN Women Executive Board, 25–27 June 2013. This session was PaperSmart; official documents and statements can also be found in the PaperSmart portal.

As required by its Executive Board, UN-Women is updating its Strategic Plan 2011–2013 to cover the period 2014–2017. This update of the strategic plan will be presented to the Executive Board as a draft during the 2013 annual session. The 2011–2013 Strategic Plan, UN-Women’s first such plan, was developed following more than 120 consultations in more than 70 countries, with some 5,000 participants from government, intergovernmental and civil society organizations. The six strategic priorities derived from that consultation process will be retained. The update reflects major developments since the 2011–2013 Strategic Plan was developed, both external and internal to UN-Women, and improves the results logic and measurability of its results frameworks.

The draft updated Strategic Plan 2014–2017 was shared with UN-Women’s Executive Board on 11 June 2013 as a conference room paper. It was reviewed at the Annual Session of the Executive Board at the end of June 2013, and will be put before the Executive Board for its approval at the Second Regular Session of the Executive Board in September 2013.

UN-Women is pleased to make its draft Strategic Plan 2014–2017 publicly available and to share its content and strategic directions with partners and stakeholders.
