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. UN Women Ethiopia Country Office (ECO) works with key partners ranging from government, civil society and UN organizations in development and humanitarian settings to enhance gender equality and empowerment of women in Ethiopia. In its work, UN Women ECO is focusing on four main development result areas: 1) Women supported to lead and participate in decision-making at all levels; 2) Women, especially the poorest and most excluded, are economically empowered and benefit from development; 3) Women and girls live a life free from violence; and 4) Governance and national planning fully reflect accountability for gender equality commitments and priorities. All result areas are aligned with SDGs, the United Nations Sustainable Development Cooperation Framework (UNSCDF) 2020-2025 for Ethiopia as well as the national development plans and priorities, articulating UN Women’s contribution to achieving national priorities, goals and results as set out in the UNSDCF. UN Women ECO has been working closely with partner agencies in promoting humanitarian assistance Programme aimed at addressing critical gender gaps in humanitarian response and enhancing resilience and wellbeing among women and girls in refugees, Internally Displaced People (IDPs) and their host communities. The Humanitarian unit leads the inter-agency Ethiopia Prevention of Sexual Exploitation and Abuse (PSEA) Network in-country, working closely with Ethiopia Humanitarian Country Team (EHCT) to prevent and to respond to SEA in humanitarian settings. Additionally, UN Women will be leveraging and applying its coordination mandate to ensure the integration of gender into humanitarian response planning and action in both the field and global levels. This project will be using a two-pronged approach. At the field level, there will be the provision of sustained capacity support, in collaboration with OCHA, to UN led country-based humanitarian coordination mechanisms – including the Humanitarian Coordinators, Humanitarian Country Teams and clusters/sectors. In partnership with UNFPA, UN Women co-leads the PSEA network and with OCHA co-chairs sub-national Humanitarian Gender networks. It is an active participant of the GBV sub-cluster, AAP Network and Inter-Cluster Coordination Group. It has conducted capacity training for UN, civil society and cluster leads on PSEA and how to conduct gender analysis. To implement a new humanitarian project, UN Women Ethiopia is seeking Gender in Humanitarian Action Project Officer to support the project implementation. While the position is based in the UN Women office in Addis Ababa, the role may require travel and missions to the field. Under the supervision of the Women, Peace and Secuity & Humanitarian Action Programme Specialist, the project officer will be responsible for managing the implementation, monitoring, reporting, budget management and partnership building efforts of the new humanitarian project of UN Women Ethiopia.
