UN system coordination

Globally, UN Women works through high-level UN inter-agency bodies to promote the integration of gender perspectives in system-wide policies. On the regional level, UN Women and UN regional commissions assist efforts to uphold agreed gender equality norms.

In Moldova, UN Women engages with other UN entities through UN country teams, gender theme groups, and joint programmes throughout the UN development assistance frameworks (UNDAF).
