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 centre of all its efforts, UN Women leads and coordinates United Nations system efforts to ensure that commitments on gender equality and gender mainstreaming translate into action throughout the world. UN Women provides strong and coherent leadership in support of Member States’ priorities and efforts, building effective partnerships with civil society and other relevant actors.
UN Women in Bangladesh supports the government to implement commitments to international normative standards on gender equality and women’s human rights. The new UN Sustainable Development Cooperation Framework (UNSDCF) for 2022-2026 was launched in 2021 and the corresponding UN Women Bangladesh Strategic Note (2022-2026), defining UN Women’s strategic engagement in Bangladesh, has also been finalized. The country strategy focuses on strengthening the national structures and mechanisms for gender mainstreaming in policies, plans and budgets; supporting efforts to prevent and eliminate violence against women; promoting women’s access to decent and safe work; promoting policies and government investment in women’s empowerment and resilience building in the context of climate change, humanitarian crisis as well as other threats to peace and security. UN Women works with a range of stakeholders in Bangladesh including the government, civil society and women’s organisations, youth, UN agencies and donors, to promote gender equality and women’s empowerment.
Against this backdrop, UN Women Bangladesh Country Office (BCO) seeks to engage an International Programme Reporting Consultant. Under the direct supervision of the Deputy Country Representative, the consultant will support Bangladesh Country Office (BCO) to formulate high quality programme and donor reports that will enhance its internal and external reporting and stakeholder engagement capacities. The scope of work requires substantive experience and in-depth understanding of results-based management (RBM) principles for efficiency and effectiveness in planning, monitoring and reporting of programme results. The consultant should also have experience in capacity development and training on RBM and report writing.
Objectives: To strengthen BCO’s capacity to produce high quality reports for internal and external communication, applying RBM principles in line with UN Women reporting rules and procedures.
