title:

Identify critical bottlenecks in contracting and other administrative procedures in UN Women and seek solutions to expedite and ease needed actions in these areas over the remainder of the Win-Win Programme cycle or plan well in advance for any contracting needs. Broad recommendations about improving UNW administrative procedures would require an organizational analysis beyond the scope of this evaluation. However, findings clearly show that these issues have undermined Programme effectiveness. Moreover, given that a number of other recommendations rely on contracting outside expertise to move outcomes forward, taking steps to prevent costly delays in this area is critical. A targeted assessment of upcoming Programme needs in these areas and how they can be met most efficiently is suggested. Notably, hiring for the full-time Regional Communications Specialist and full-time Regional Finance Associate and to fill any continued vacancies in the EU-approved staffing complement should be completed urgently to ensure the Programme has the human resources required as it moves into its crucial final year.
