Déclaration de Grete Faremo devant le Conseil d'administration à sa première session ordinaire de 2020
| DÉCLARATION
It has taken dedication and commitment. But our job is far from over, and we are determined to do better. And our targets remain ambitious: to reach the fringes of gender parity - 47 per cent - by the end of 2020. We have made some significant decisions in approaching this challenge at UNOPS. Perhaps most importantly, we made a commitment to go beyond UN staff targets. At UNOPS we include all of our personnel (irrespective of contract types) in our gender targets. Today's 43 per cent cover all UNOPS personnel, be they consultants, contractors, or staff. We encourage other members of the UN family to do the same. Next steps As we move into 2020, a primary focus for UNOPS will be the mid-term review of our strategic plan. That plan resulted in us becoming better-known, and recognized as a valuable resource to help our partners deliver on the SDGs. But time is now ripe to take stock of the changing global context, and to review our strategy to see how we can better our offering to our partners. Last year, under the direction of the Secretary-General, a Client Board was established, to provide an opportunity for our key partners to provide feedback, following our traditional partner survey. This Client Board will be in place and have its first meeting later this month. This will also bring new voices and opinions to the table.
