Building on the ‘Ecosystem Landscaping to advance the Accountability to implement the Women’s Empowerment Principles in ASEAN’, the WeEmpowerAsia programme, UN women jointly develops and will disseminate the Building Pathways to Gender Equality and Sustainability through the Women's Empowerment Principles: Thailand Policy Brief (hereafter referred as ‘Thailand Policy Brief’) with key partners, namely the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Office of SMEs Promotion (OSMEP).
Gender Responsive Procurement (GRP) is one of the initiatives recommended in the Thailand Policy Brief. GRP can identify, incorporate and support women business owners seeking to access government/corporate procurement contracts. In support of the initiative, UN Women and Kenan Foundation Asia will host the “IDEA to I do”, a business presentation competition for selected women entrepreneurs, to showcase the capacity of WOB and WLB developed under WeEmpowerAsia Programme as means to promote women’s participation in supply chain. Winners will receive the WeRise Awards and the prizes are comprised of one winner, one first runner-up and one second runner-up.

Building capacity to increasing the legitimacy of CSOs: a view across the spectrum of self-regulation and accountability
Format: Engagement workshop (1h30)
Summary: If civil society organisations are to be truly effective as a voice for citizens around the world, they need to work hard on standards for continuous improvement of their own governance, as a way to better respond to expectations from citizens, funders, volunteers, staff, and other stakeholders who are increasingly expecting demonstrations of good governance and better impact. CSO self-regulation mechanisms are therefore required, but these need to be by and for civil society rather than be imposed by funders or governments.
The three presenters will convey the varying expectations and challenges faced in their three different countries and regions when CSOs decide to embrace self-regulation, and the implication of this in their work with governments at different levels, mass media, social networks, international cooperation agencies and other relevant actors. Imagine Canada will present its newly launched programme of rigorous peer review, which aims at helping CSOs to improve their practice in the areas of board governance, financial transparency and accountability, fundraising, staff management and volunteer involvement, while responding to the new expectations of society. The Latin American network Rendir Cuentas will present a regional perspective on these issuess.
Panel:
Marcel Lauzière, President and CEO, Imagine Canada, Canada
Anabel Cruz, Director, Institute of Communication and Development (ICD), Uruguay
The Conference calls upon the international governments and the relevant institutions including the CHOGM to:
1. Evolve necessary framework and institutional arrangements to prevent recurrence of such events in any part of the world;
2. Effectively address the alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity committed by all parties during the war in Sri Lanka as a deterrent for such events ever happening again;
3. Take all necessary steps to implement the UN Panel recommendations in its entirety;
4. Implement measures that will encourage the Government of Sri Lanka to cooperate in addressing these issues and until such time denying Sri Lanka the privileges bestowed on respectable members of the international community including hosting of events such as CHOGM 2013 and 2018 commonwealth games; and
5. Pro-active facilitation of processes that will allow for accountability, reparation, resettlement, negotiated political solution, and true reconciliation.
Weak accountability leads to government failures or tragedies that affect the public – so what can be done to strengthen it?
The Institute for Government Launched it's report Accountability in modern government - recommendations for change, based on a year-long consultation and input from a high-profile advisory group.
To discuss the findings of the report, our panel:
Rt Hon Dame Margaret Hodge MP, Labour MP for Barking, former Chair of the Commons Public Accounts Committee
Sir Richard Mottram, Visiting Professor at the LSE, former Permanent Secretary
Jonathan Slater, Permanent Secretary at the Department for Education
The report was introduced by Benoit Guerin, Senior Researcher at the Institute for Government, and the event was chaired by Emma Norris, Programme Director at the Institute for Government.

UN Women is leveraging the 2020 anniversaries by identifying strategies to address the pushback
against the rights and equality agenda and chart the way forward to promote greater action with
key funding commitments and enhance accountability for the implementation of the gender
equality commitments. In this regard, UN Women is organizing a civil society-centered, multistakeholder global gathering for gender equality - the Generation Equality Forum.
Purpose of the Session
1. Provide a platform for UN Women and partners to create a Beijing+25/Generation
Equality moment on the sidelines of the ICPD+25 and bring to the fore, the nexus between
these agendas, with a focus on young people.
2. To amplify the experiences and aspirations of young Kenyan women and men on gender
equality 25 years after Beijing PfA
3. Mobilize partnerships in support of Generation Equality campaign from amongst civil
society and particularly young women and men in the lead up to Beijing@25
Outcomes of the session:
1. The voices of young Kenyan women and men made visible in the Beijing@25 dialogue and
connect these voices to the regional mobilization.
2. Inputs to the preparatory process for Generation Equality Forum for further follow up
The session will open brief opening remarks from the Government of Kenya, UN Women’s
Executive Director, one representative from a youth led organization and at least one
representative from a member state in a form of open dialogue, setting the stage context for the
event. This will then be followed by a moderated intervention involving 4 panelists drawn from
amongst young women and men gender equality activists working in various sectors from around
the country. These 5-minute interventions will highlight their engagements with gender issues;
how they are organizing to address these challenges and areas they wish to see more
commitment. The session will then open up for responses from UN Women, the government and
member states present. Engagement with the audience will then follow. The moderator may
share some overall guiding points for the open discussion to drive it towards conclusive
recommendations that can be plugged into the ongoing Beijing+25 conversations. The ED
Government will respond to the issues raised. Then the session will officially close.
The event is expected to draw in approximately 150 participants drawn from the Beijing +25
Youth Taskforce, UN Women’s youth focused CSOs, UN agencies, development partners.

On Friday, September 22nd, our high school was visited by a group of athletes who are part of a leadership council at Syracuse University. Mr. Mark Trumbo, Syracuse University's Student-Athlete Engagement Coordinator, was accompanied by Alana O’Neill and Maddie Pack from the women’s soccer team; Hannah Dossett, Alexa Romero, and Samantha Fernandez from the women’s softball team; and Marcus Cunningham, David Lipka, and Stephen Rehfuss from the men’s lacrosse team. Mr. Trumbo and the athletes spent a few hours engaging groups of students in an interactive dialogue regarding the topics of leadership, accountability, responsibility, and various aspects of college life. Their message to our student body was inspiring, and the experience was a great way for our students to begin the new school year!

It is very important that we hold ourselves accountable before God for each sin that we have ever committed, and not simply rely on those three Hail Marys we were given by that “nice priest” in the Confessional. I think I should instruct the people to pray fifteen decades of the Rosary for every mortal sin they have ever committed, or at least those that they can remember after making a good examination of conscience.
At Judgment, God does not simply look at the “big picture,” or the term coined by one progressivist theologian, Joseph Fuchs, our “fundamental option.” He examines every single decision we have made in our lifetime, and demands an account for each one. Even if we die in a state of grace, our Purgatory can be very long, especially for the mortal sins forgiven in the tribunal of God’s mercy, but not fully expiated. In his book Purgatory Explained, Fr. F.X. Schouppe, S.J., wrote that on an average, a person suffers seven years in Purgatory for every mortal sin. If that is accurate, some might have a few centuries to think about and repair for what they have done.
