Description

I-Background: UN Women, grounded in the vision of equality enshrined in the Charter of the United Nations, works for the elimination of discrimination against women and girls; the empowerment of women; and the achievement of equality between women and men as partners and beneficiaries of development, human rights, humanitarian action and peace and security. The Morocco Country office (MCO) works with national partners to promote the leadership and political participation of women and contributes to the translation of constitutional provisions into laws, strategies and policies that advance gender equality and women’s empowerment. The Morocco office also supports the development and implementation of gender-sensitive strategies and public policies, while fostering the production and dissemination of accurate sex-disaggregated and gender-based data to strengthen the monitoring and evaluation of progress on gender equality, women's empowerment and the achievement of Sustainable Development Goals. In this context, gender-sensitive statistics constitute an essential lever for informing public policies, monitoring progress achieved in gender equality, and strengthening institutional accountability in the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals. The availability of quality, accessible and disaggregated data is now recognized as an indispensable condition for the development of evidence-based and gender-responsive public policies. As the United Nations entity dedicated to gender equality and the empowerment of women, UN Women supports Member States in strengthening the production, analysis, dissemination and use of gender-sensitive statistics through its flagship programme Making Every Woman and Girl Count — Women Count — in its phases I and II, as well as through the partnership developed with the European Union in Morocco. These initiatives have supported the development of innovative tools for data dissemination, the production of analyses and studies on gender inequalities, and the strengthening of the capacities of the national statistical system in the area of gender-sensitive statistics and SDG monitoring. Building on these achievements, the “GENSTAT: Gender and Territorialized Statistics” programme, implemented by UN Women in partnership with the High Commission for Planning and with the financial support of the European Union, aims to strengthen the national statistical foundation in order to contribute to evidence-based and gender-responsive governance. The programme places particular emphasis on strengthening institutional capacities, improving access to gender-sensitive statistics at both national and territorial levels, and producing and using data to inform public policies related to gender equality and women’s economic empowerment. In parallel, the Morocco Country Office continues to support women’s economic empowerment, including by improving women’s entrepreneurial capacities, enhancing their sustainable livelihoods and resilience, and promoting their access to, control over and use of productive resources.
