UNDP does not tolerate sexual exploitation and abuse, any kind of harassment, including sexual harassment, and discrimination. All selected candidates will, therefore, undergo rigorous reference and background checks.

    Background

    UN Women, grounded in the vision of equality enshrined in the Charter of the United Nations, works for the elimination of discrimination against women and girls; the empowerment of women; and the achievement of equality between women and men as partners and beneficiaries of development, human rights, humanitarian action and peace and security. Placing women’s rights at the center of all its efforts, UN Women will lead and coordinate United Nations System efforts to ensure that commitments on gender equality and gender mainstreaming translate into action throughout the world. It will provide strong and coherent leadership in support of Member States’ priorities and efforts, building effective partnerships with civil society and other relevant actors. 

    The Policy Programme and Intergovernmental Division (PPID) drives UN Women’s positioning as a global thought and practice leader on gender equality and women’s empowerment to deliver on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by:  

    • Connecting and consolidating UN Women’s knowledge and experience from across the field for normative policy advancements,  
    • Facilitating substantive thematic coordination across the UN System, 
    • Leading cutting-edge policy analysis based on data and evidence, and  
    • Providing technical advice to support field programming for impact at scale. 

      PPID enables UN Women to function as a globally networked and matrixed development organization that is equipped to deliver results as part of a repositioned UN development system where they are most needed in the field, including across the Humanitarian-Development-Peace nexus in protracted crises, conflict, post-conflict, humanitarian and disaster settings.

      Anchored in Agenda 2030 and in line with UN Women’s 2022-2025 Strategic Plan, UN Women has developed Gender Equality Accelerators (GEAs) as a set of key solutions to address the most pressing challenges for the realization of the human rights of women and girls and the achievement of SDG5. The GEAs are programmatic frameworks that will drive policy coherence and programmatic to ensure transformative impact at scale. They aim to support governments translate global commitments on gender equality into change in national legal frameworks, policies and plans, resource allocation and action. In addition, the GEAs demonstrate that addressing the deeply rooted gender inequality challenges requires UN Women to fully leverage our full tripartite mandate of normative support, UN system coordination, and operational activities in an integrated and mutually reinforcing manner.
