GBV Information Management Associate

Mission and objectivesThe UNFPA, United Nations Population Fund, promotes gender equality, reproductive health, youth empowerment. The organization was created in 1969, the same year the UN General Assembly declared “parents have the exclusive right to determine freely and responsibly the number and spacing of their children”. Together with partners, UNFPA works in 150 countries, and in Ukraine since 1997. Our mission is to deliver a world where every pregnancy is wanted, every childbirth is safe and every young person's potential is fulfilled. UNFPA in Ukraine works for: • creating conditions in which every young person can fulfil the potential, lead a healthy lifestyle, know their reproductive rights and take an active social life; • conducting sexual and reproductive health campaigns to improve access to health and care services and improve its quality, especially for young people; • combating gender stereotypes in society (through the media, compulsory education for civil servants on gender mainstreaming, the improvement of national gender policy and anti-discrimination expertise of school textbooks); • providing information and services to gender-based violence survivors through the creation of crisis centres, supporting the work of mobile teams of psycho-social and support, providing expert support and raising general awareness in society.

ContextUNFPA is the lead UN agency for delivering a world where every pregnancy is wanted, every childbirth is safe, and every young person's potential is fulfilled. In Ukraine, UNFPA works to advance sexual and reproductive health and rights, gender equality, youth empowerment, and to strengthen the country’s demographic resilience with particular focus on supporting vulnerable groups, including women, youth, and communities affected by the war. In 2025, UNFPA Ukraine launched its 4th Country Programme (CPD 2025–2029), which is aligned with the UNFPA Strategic Plan and the United Nations Sustainable Development Cooperation Framework (UNSDCF) for Ukraine. The CPD focuses on four key outcomes: improving access to quality sexual and reproductive health services, promoting gender equality and preventing gender-based violence, empowering young people, and strengthening population data and demographic resilience. It is designed to respond to the challenges of war, displacement, and recovery, while laying the foundation for long-term, sustainable development. The full-scale invasion in Ukraine, which started on 24 February 2022, has caused civilian casualties and the destruction of vital infrastructure, forcing millions of people to flee their homes seeking safety, protection, and assistance. Moreover, the war continues to increase the risks of GBV, with around 2.4 million people needing GBV services in 2025. UNFPA leads the coordination of the inter-agency Gender-Based Violence Area of Responsibility (GBV AoR) in Ukraine. The AoR ensures the timely delivery of GBV prevention and response services across the country; enhances the capacity of GBV actors, particularly local and national actors, to uphold GBV minimum standards; facilitates ethical information sharing and best practices; and promotes collective interagency actions to prevent and respond to GBV. UNFPA is looking for candidates to join the GBV AoR team who can deliver high-impact, sustainable results related to information management and can demonstrate exceptional resource management and a commitment to program excellence.
