Evaluation and Lessons Learnt from implementation processes in 2024

The strong collaboration between the co-chairs of the Results Group has been instrumental in the successful convening of the Cooperation Framework Technical Steering Committee. Joint leadership between the government and the UN has ensured alignment of processes, strengthened stakeholder ownership, and reinforced commitment to implementation. Active participation in Results Group Re views has upheld a results-driven approach. 

Achieving behaviour change through multimedia campaigns requires sustained engagement, evidence-based messaging, and the meaningful involvement of youth as agents of change. While extended assessments improve the validity of findings, service delivery inefficiencies persist and must be addressed to enhance the inclusivity and responsiveness of interventions in 2025. 

Effective coordination mechanisms have reduced duplication, while a strong monitoring and evaluation (M&E) framework—combining qualitative and quantitative methods—has strengthened advocacy impact. The Private Sector Coalition experience highlights the importance of integrating ILO Convention 190 into corporate policies, enhancing accountability and compliance in preventing workplace gender-based violence. Embedding UN instruments within corporate frameworks will further reinforce these gains. 

Recognition by national statistical bodies has enhanced the UN’s credibility in data collection and analysis, supporting evidence-based policymaking. Leveraging emerging technologies has improved data efficiency, while well-structured South-South and Triangular Cooperation has fostered impactful, peer-driven knowledge exchange. Institutionalization through capacity-building, mentoring, and government commitment is key to long-term sustainability. 

Women’s economic empowerment efforts must extend beyond direct beneficiaries, supporting small scale traders and informal workers. Advancing women’s participation in business and leadership re quires early interventions through STEM education, entrepreneurship, and digital skills development. Shifting mindsets and engaging girls early is essential for long-term transformation. 

In education, multi-stakeholder collaboration, in novation, and capacity-building remain central to improving learning outcomes. Strengthening early childhood education includes curriculum support and parental engagement, as seen in the National Parental/Primary Caregiver Capacity-Building Programme. Technology and play-based learning are boosting foundational skills, with the P.L.A.Y. online platform benefiting millions of children. Private sector partnerships—such as BMW’s support for the Coding & Robotics Curriculum—are promoting future-proof skills. However, resource constraints and systemic capacity gaps must be addressed to ensure sustainability and scale-up.

Strengthened collaboration and coherence across UN-supported programmes will accelerate progress toward the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Regular reviews of UNCT configuration and expertise will maintain agility in responding to evolving challenges. Expanding South-South and Triangular Cooperation will deepen knowledge exchange and support national efforts toward sustainable development.
