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. The UN Women Pacific Multi-Country Office is based in Suva, Fiji and works alongside over 20 other UN agencies in the region and in 14 countries: Cook Islands, Federated States of Micronesia, Fiji, Kiribati, Nauru, Niue, Palau, Republic of Marshall Islands, Samoa, Solomon Islands, Tokelau, Tonga, Tuvalu and Vanuatu. Under its Strategic Note 2018-2022, UN Women Fiji MCO focuses on delivering on four interlinked programme areas underpinned by support for intergovernmental and normative processes:
Ending Violence Against Women and Girls / EVAWG To respond to the rates of violence in the Pacific, UN Women has developed a comprehensive EVAW programme which takes a transformative approach to prevent violence against women and girls at multiple levels (regional, national and community), and to ensure survivors have access to quality response services. The approach to preventing and responding to VAWG also takes into account the context of the Pacific, which requires an integrated approach to addressing VAWG across the humanitarian – development nexus. The Fiji MCO EVAWG programme is one of the largest UN Women EVAWG programmes globally. The most substantial programme under UN Women’s EVAW programme is the Pacific Partnership to End Violence Against Women and Girls which is an ambitious, five year joint programme, with UN Women, The Pacific Community, SPC and the Pacific Islands Forum Secretariat, which brings together governments, civil society organizations, communities and other partners to change the social norms that allow violence against women and girls to continue; to ensure survivors have access to quality response services; and to support national and regional institutions to meet their commitments to gender equality and prevention of violence against women and girls. The Pacific Partnership Phase I is its final year of implementation (2023), with Phase II beginning in 2024 to 2027. The Pacific Partnership is funded primarily by the European Union (EU) with targeted support from the Australian and New Zealand Governments and UN Women. In addition to the Pacific Partnership Programme, UN Women is the Technical lead on the Regional and multi-country Pacific Spotlight Programme, and supports implementation across the Regional and Samoa Country Spotlight programmes. The Spotlight initiative in the Pacific focuses on Intimate partner (physical, sexual and emotional) violence (IPV) to address the continuum of gender-based violence in the Pacific region, and goes through to December 2023. Reporting to the Fiji MCO Representative, the Programme Advisor is responsible for the leadership, substantive coordination and overall management of the EVAWG programme for results, working together with UN Women Country Offices in the Pacific region, and with the programme and operations units in the Fiji MCO. The Programme Advisor is responsible for: a) providing substantive management and leadership in the thematic sector of EVAWG and related programmes (b) providing substantive programme coordination and management; (c) providing leadership in the areas of advocacy, donor relations and resource mobilisation and (d) providing high quality financial and human resource supervision.
