Foreword

I am pleased to introduce the Field-specific Enabling Environment Guidelines. These Guidelines aim to support personnel in the field, especially in mission settings, to help increase the representation of women and accelerate efforts to reach parity in the UN system. The Guidelines have been created in support of the Secretary-General’s System-wide Strategy on Gender Parity (2017), and they complement the Enabling Environment Guidelines for the United Nations System (2019) and the Supplementary Guidance (2019).

Sustainable Development Goals:

Gender Equality

Reduced Inequalities

Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions
