The Generation Equality Forum took place in Mexico City from 29 to 31 March and in Paris from 30 June to 2 July 2021. The Forum brought together stakeholders from all sectors to launch a 5-year action agenda. The Forum launched over 1,000 commitments with an aggregate estimated value of US$40 Billion in financial commitments. Through the Action Coalitions and Compact on Women, Peace and Security and Humanitarian Action that were launched at the Forum, trailblazing stakeholders are advancing irreversible progress towards gender equality and the Sustainable Development Goals.

Accountability for Action

Title
ACCOUNTABILITY FOR ACTION

Subtitle

Accountability and transparency are critical to the success of Generation Equality. For the initiative to achieve meaningful progress, Action Coalition Leaders, Commitment Makers and Compact Signatories must report transparently on their commitments and demonstrate that they have met their promises for women and girls.

Through a consultative process UN Women has established Accountability Frameworks for the Action Coalitions and Compact. These frameworks and processes will help to show progress on the delivery of commitments and generate data for analysis. The qualitative and quantitative data that will be made available will enable global advocacy efforts and help ensure an inclusive accountability process for Generation Equality.
