Office/Unit/Project Description   

Spotlight Initiative was established by the UN Secretary-General as a flagship initiative to eliminate violence against women and girls (EVAWG). 

In 2024, Spotlight Initiative entered its new phase, establishing the Spotlight Initiative 2.0 Fund and launching a new generation of programmes under the umbrella framework of Spotlight Initiative, applying lessons learned from its first 2017-2023 phase. With the ambition to raise an additional USD 1 billion over the next 5 years, “Spotlight Initiative 2.0” builds on lessons learned from the first generation of programmes and aims to diversify its donor and partnership base.

To complement the work of the Spotlight Initiative 2.0 Fund and its Fund Secretariat, and as part of the broader umbrella framework of the Spotlight Initiative, the UN and the European Union developed the Spotlight Initiative High-Impact Programme for Violence Elimination by 2030 (HIVE Programme). This joint programme works under the overall umbrella of the Spotlight Initiative anchored in the Executive Office of the Secretary-General of the UN, is implemented by UN Women and UNDP, and links directly to the Spotlight Initiative 2.0 Fund as it transitions to its second generation of programming. The overall objective of this programme is to ensure the achievements and results of the Spotlight Initiative are sustained and contribute to comprehensive and effective country programmes on EVAWG and to increased global awareness, knowledge sharing and networking on EVAWG. Specifically, the programme will contribute to the following outputs:
  • Data and research on GBV and various forms of violence at global and regional level is enhanced and disseminated.
  • Technical package in line with the Spotlight Initiative model, and evidence-based strategies, knowledge, and tools on violence against women and girls is consolidated and made available for new programmes and advocacy purposes
  • Global and regional strategic partnerships are expanded to advance efforts on ending gender-based violence, including through communication, behavior change strategies, events and campaigns.
  • Increased expertise at country level to ensure the development and sustainability of comprehensive programmes to end violence against women and girls in line with the Spotlight Initiative model.
