Member States, United Nations entities, international organizations, and other interested stakeholders should submit side event proposals via the following link at their earliest convenience, and no later than 1 August 2024. All proposals received will be reviewed by UNECE and UN Women, who will respond to the proposed event organizers by 1 September 2024. As slots are limited, priority will be given to events organized by more than one Member State and multiple organizations (more than three). Side events (in-person) will be scheduled during the 8:45– 9:45 am and 12:00–13:15 time slots. UNECE facilities can host a maximum of four in-person events with space for 50 participants each. Organizers intending to facilitate virtual participation will need to generate their own links. Unfortunately, neither translation services nor online support will be provided for in-person side events in 2024. Side events are open to all Conference participants. </p> <p>CRITERIA FOR SELECTION </p> <p>The proposed side events should support the objectives of the Economic Commission for Europe Beijing+30 Regional Review Meeting (see ‘Background’ section below). They are expected to complement the inter- governmental meeting by taking stock of progress, addressing remaining and emerging challenges, and providing original perspectives on gender equality and women’s empowerment issues in the UNECE region. </p> <p>Proposed side events will be selected according to the following criteria: </p> <p>• Relevance: Side events should be relevant to the 12 critical areas of concern in the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action. Other emerging thematic issues will also be considered. Successful side event proposals will ensure the sharing of good prac- tices from a variety of stakeholders and identify partnership opportunities and accelerated action at multiple levels. </p> <p>• Multistakeholder participation: Successful side event proposals will ensure inclusion and diversity (parti- cularly geographical, regional, and gender balan- ces) and include a mix of stakeholders, including governments; civil society; academia; the private sector; United Nations; regional, inter-governmental, or other multilateral organizations; etc. </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p/> <div class="annotation"> <a href="https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSf1t5rL0e6624uSmvsqTRsF77HfEdbmzMT5UrUI4VVZVrUjSg/viewform">https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSf1t5rL0e6624uSmvsqTRsF77HfEdbmzMT5UrUI4VVZVrUjSg/viewform</a> </div> </div> <div class="page"> <p/> <p>• Priority will be accorded to side events organized by more than one Member State and multiple organiza- tions (more than three). </p> <p>• Interactive and inclusive session design: Successful side event proposals will design the events to be as interac- tive as possible, including by allocating sufficient tim for interaction with the audience. </p> <p> • Innovation: Side events that present innovative designs </p> <p>in terms of session format, content and/ or dialogue setup will be favorably considered. </p> <p> </p> <p>RESPONSIBILITIES OF CO-ORGANIZERS </p> <p>• One of the co-organizers of the proposed side event should be designated as the lead organizer and com- munications focal point. </p> <p>• Organizers are responsible for all arrangements for the side events (generation and management of virtual par- ticipation link, confirmation of logistics arrangements, registration of speakers, broad-based participation, event marketing, etc.). </p> <p> • The Conference organizers will provide a room, screen, </p> <p>Wi-Fi, and basic technical assistance.

Global Initiative towards post-Covid-19 resurgence of the MSME sector (UNDA project 2023W) Period of Review: 2020 - 2023   Date of Evaluation Report: 30/04/2024 

Evaluation Terms of Reference  Evaluation of the United Nations Development Account 12th tranche “Global Initiative towards post-Covid-19 resurgence of the MSME sector” (2023W)  

The COVID-19 crisis is plunging the global economy into a deep recession and micro, small and medium enterprises – which play a major role in emerging economies – are amongst the hardest hit. Trapped in economic stagnation due to large-scale lockdowns, millions of MSMEs have become the most vulnerable to COVID-19 within the private sector. Compared with large firms, small businesses have fewer resources and lower capacities to cope with the abrupt economic shocks economies are currently facing. With more than two-thirds of the global population employed by MSMEs, the unprecedented outbreak of the pandemic has vividly shown how tightly their activities are woven into the economic and social fabric of the world, as well as their critical role in social and economic resurgence.   The objective of the project is to develop and implement capacity-building tools for governments and micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) to facilitate the resurgence and strengthen the resilience of MSMEs in developing countries and economies in transition. These capacity-building tools will seek to mitigate the economic and social impact of the global COVID-19 crisis and to facilitate the contribution of MSMEs to the SDGs implementation.

Evaluation of UNECE project (E357) "Supporting UNECE member States in the development and implementation of the United Nations Framework Classification for Resources (UNFC) and the United Nations Resource Management System (UNRMS)"

This report presents the independent evaluation of UNECE’s extrabudgetary project (E357), "Supporting UNECE member States in the development and implementation of the United Nations Framework Classification for Resources (UNFC) and the United Nations Resource Management System (UNRMS)."
The UNECE project (E357) was anchored in UNECE’s Subprogramme 5, focused on promoting affordable, clean energy and minimizing the carbon footprint in the energy sector. The project leveraged the United Nations Framework Classification for Resources (UNFC) and the United Nations Resource Management System (UNRMS) to bolster sustainable resource management aligned with the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the Paris Agreement. The project, which began in June 2020 with a EUR 2 million budget and which will close on 15 July 2024, will be followed by a second phase. The project aimed to enhance resource management capabilities across UNECE member States and globally through activities such as developing standards, conducting workshops, and facilitating expert engagement. Its objectives were to improve resource classification systems and contribute to align management practices with global sustainability goals, targeting a wide range of stakeholders. UNFC and UNRMS were endorsed by ECOSOC and were invited for global adoption.
