Milestone 6 | Deadline 31 December 2026

Progress status: In progress

Joint Centres of Excellence and shared digital infrastructure established through system-wide reviews, enabling pooled data and technology capacity across entities and supporting modernization under the Technology Accelerator Platform, as part of the UN80 reform agenda to make the United Nations more coordinated, agile and future-ready.

Why is this action important?

In a world facing fast-moving crises and complex global risks, the UN must be equipped to adapt, anticipate and act. This action helps ensure the UN can support countries more effectively – with the right tools, insights and capabilities to meet today’s and tomorrow’s challenges.

What happens next?

The Strategic Plan introduces a dedicated indicator on strategic foresight – one of the pillars of UN 2.0 – measuring the number of regional and country offices applying foresight tools during planning processes to improve future readiness. Integration of all UN 2.0 pillars will be systematically tracked across country and regional programmes, as well as through annual reporting.

UN Women will continue collaborating with the UN Futures Lab to develop a gender-informed foresight guide, helping ensure foresight tools and processes are inclusive. In parallel, UN Women is scaling its AI School and Equality Lab to accelerate the ethical use of artificial intelligence for gender equality.
