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.
Established by UN Women with the support of the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family (MOGEF) of the Republic of Korea in 2021, the UN Women Centre of Excellence for Gender Equality is dedicated to supporting traditional and non-traditional stakeholders in realizing commitments to gender equality, women’s empowerment, and the rights of women and girls through (i) gender capacity-building training programmes, (ii) research and support for production and use of gender data, and (iii) network building, partnership cultivation and advocacy as a leading gender training and knowledge hub in Asia and beyond. The UN Women Centre of Excellence for Gender Equality embraces innovation, including as it relates to new technologies and partnerships, to increase the breadth and depth of its work, aligning with the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and its transformative promise to leave no one behind. Under the supervision of the Director and the technical guidance from the Head of External Relations unit at UN Women Regional Office for Asia and the Pacific and in close coordination with the Strategic Partnerships Division (e.g. Public Partnerships Section, Multi-stakeholder Partnership and Advisory Services, and Communication and Advocacy teams) at HQ, the External Relations Specialist will provide technical support to the development and management of UN Women’s strategic partnerships, resource mobilization, advocacy and communication strategy in the UN Women Centre of Excellence for Gender Equality. The External Relations Specialist will also collaborate closely with the Headquarters, Regional, Multi-Country Office and Country Offices’ (RO/MCO/CO) colleagues to ensure communications strategies, media relations and organizational outreach efforts are aligned with corporate communications policies and initiatives. The External Relations Specialist also collaborates with HQ/RO/MCO and CO colleagues to support outreach campaigns, resource mobilization and donor relations initiatives. The External Relations Specialist mobilizes support in conjunction with intergovernmental processes and support the activities and special events organized for UN Women. External Relations Specialist is expected to manage relevant personnel and vendors, as necessary.
