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 Jordan Country Office supports the Government of Jordan to implement global norms and standards on gender equality and women’s empowerment; promotes women’s economic empowerment; and implements a resilience and empowerment model for Syrian refugee women and vulnerable Jordanian women. The country office is implementing its Strategic Note for the period 2018-2022 and is prioritizing coherence and interlinkages across its projects and programmes under these three pillars. This requires effective implementation, monitoring and reporting on progress and results and coordination with key stakeholders in government, civil society, the private sector, and the international community. Commitments to promote gender equality need to be backed by adequate funds and systematically monitored for progress in reducing gender discrimination. Yet there is a disconnect between such commitments and allocated funding in many national budgets, including in Jordan. To bridge this gap, UN Women, the Ministry of Planning and International Cooperation (MOPIC) and the Jordanian National Commission for Women (JNCW) have been working with national partners to implement gender-responsive budgeting (GRB). To this end, the proposed Project aims to reduce gender-based inequalities by strengthening and operationalizing GRB in Jordan. Key partners will be MOPIC, JNCW and the General Budget Department (GBD) within the Ministry of Finance (MoF), and the four pilot ministries for GRB implementation in Jordan: Ministry of Health (MoH), Ministry of Education (MoE), Ministry of Labor (MoL) and the Ministry of Political and Parliamentary Affairs (MoPPA). The expected results include the Government of Jordan (GoJ)’s adoption of effective national mechanisms to track and increase allocations for gender equality and inclusive development. Specifically, it foresees GRB being piloted in four sectoral ministries as well as being fully integrated within the national budget cycle, from preparation to monitoring. Key stakeholders and policymakers will acquire the capacity to develop, implement, monitor and evaluate policies and budgets by applying gender-responsive budgeting tools and guidelines. By applying a gender lens and tracking gender funding allocations, national programmes and budgets will become more inclusive, feature gender-sensitive performance indicators and promote gender equality. Strategic planning and programming will be more based on gender-disaggregated data, and women’s groups and civil society organizations (CSOs) working on women’s rights will be more able to engage in effective advocacy in this domain. As part of supporting the implementation, aligning the public resources with gender priorities relevant to women’s economic empowerment, and establishing the accountability mechanism, UN Women has been working with JNCW and General Budgeting Department (GBD) of the Ministry of Finance towards advancing the Gender-Responsive Budgeting (GRB). UN Women plans to provide further support to strengthen policy work and build the capacity of the national partners to institutionalize a GRB approach into the central national budget process and at line ministries, for the implementation of national frameworks relevant to gender equality and women’s empowerment, monitor the progress achieved, and address the identified gender gaps Objective of the Assignment:
