UNICEF Country offices are required to go through a Gender Programmatic Review (GPR) at least once in a programme cycle either in preparation for a new Country Program Development (CPD) or at the time of a Mid-Term Review. The current CPD for the Ethiopia Country Office (ECO) will come to an end in 2025 and the office has initiated the design of a new CPD. Hence, the ECO plans to conduct a gender programmatic review to identify new or strengthen existing gender priorities in the country programming in line with the Gender Action Plan 2022–2025, Strategic Plan 2022–2025 as well as national priorities and strategies for gender equality and women’s empowerment.
