Agreement: Applying Gender Considerations to UN Camp Accommodations (7429180 P010290001). Mar 22, 2021 - Dec 31, 2026
Description:

This project aims to implement gender-sensitive designs by the UN Department of Operational Support for infrastructure and accommodations in UN peace operations. This project improves the safety and well-being of women peacekeepers by enhancing environmental factors in the camps, contributing to safer workplaces and more receptive conditions. Improvement to camps will benefit men and women peacekeepers and contribute to their deployment and retention. Also, this will allow uniformed women to participate meaningfully in UN peace operations. Projects activities include: (1) conducting gender-specific assessments of accommodations for selected field missions, based on minimum gender standards; (2) providing technical support to missions on their construction designs, implementation plans, and contracts to improve accommodations to reflect gender needs; (3) refurbishing and/or installing camp accommodations following minimum gender standards; (4) conducting assessments of accommodation in missions and perceptions of women in peace operations before and after camp improvements; and (5) incorporating UN Women’s guide to gender-responsive procurement into all purchases of materials for camp accommodation improvements.

Expected Results:

The expected outcomes for this project include: (1) improved security and accommodation facilities for uniformed women in UN peace operations; (2) enhanced UN peace operations’ capacity to provide secured and adequate accommodation facilities for uniformed women in UN peace operations; and (3) increased body of knowledge on receptive environments in UN peace operations.
