The Multi-Country Office in South Africa covers three countries namely: Lesotho, South Africa and E-Swatini with Regional Programmes that cover Namibia and Botswana as well as Liaison for SADC.
Raising awareness of UN Women’s role in the country and positioning the organization as the champion for women and girls in South Africa is a key goal for the office. A lack of awareness is impeding resource mobilization efforts and it is critical resources are mobilized at a local level to enable the office’s work to continue.
