Investing in women’s leadership for peace

On International Day of Women in Diplomacy, we celebrate women leaders in foreign affairs and spotlight efforts to reach gender parity in leadership roles. The Senior Women Talent Pipeline, an initiative from the UN Department of Operational Support, identifies and prepares senior women leaders before opportunities arise, building a curated pool of candidates ready to step into critical roles. By investing in this scalable approach, the organization strengthens leadership pipelines, advances gender parity, and ensures a diverse pool of senior women leaders is ready to take on complex roles across the international system.
