Programme Associate (Partnerships and Resource Mobilization) до UN Women

The full-scale invasion of Ukraine has propelled the country into a rapid innovation trajectory, utilizing digital technologies to address the war’s impacts and accelerate recovery and sustainable development.

In 2023, the Government of Ukraine introduced the draft National Strategy for the Development of Innovation Ecosystems, outlining a vision for Ukraine as an innovation hub, with the goal of ensuring a high quality of life meeting the economic and social needs of society through innovation. This period of transformation presents both opportunities and challenges for gender equality. Despite the potential of innovation to improve the lives and economic outcomes of women and girls, patterns of gender inequalities and discrimination may be exacerbated if not addressed with a gender-sensitive approach.

Acknowledging the dual nature of innovation and technological advancements, UN Women Ukraine is poised to lead transformative change through strategic partnerships and innovation. With the establishment of a multistakeholder innovation lab, UN Women aims to create gender-inclusive ecosystems, elevate women’s leadership in innovation and increase financing for solutions responsive to the needs of women and girls, thereby ensuring that advancements in these fields benefit women and girls in Ukraine — particularly in the context of recovery and reconstruction efforts. The activity of this initiative is further supported by the European Union-funded programme «EU 4 Gender Equality: Together against gender-stereotypes and gender-based violence», highlighting our commitment to ensuring women’s equal participation in and benefit from innovation processes.
