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 Iraq Yemen cluster Office (IYCO) is a cluster covering both countries, Iraq and Yemen. Main office is based in Baghdad with field presences in Sanaa, Erbil, Aden, and Amman. IYCO programming focuses on four main strategic goals including women political participation, humanitarian action, economic empowerment and Women, Peace and Security (WPS). IYCO aims to strengthen the UN response in addressing priorities for gender equality and women empowerment by developing and implementing innovative approaches and providing support to governments and civil society organizations. In Iraq, the humanitarian crisis continues unabated as widespread violence and massive waves of displacement have put millions of people in need of assistance. Despite the government’s and international community’s efforts to consolidate support for an end to the crisis and reach vulnerable populations with assistance, the humanitarian needs are staggering. This situation has impacted women in Iraq disproportionally and has led to denying them access to fundamental rights. Of the thousands displaced in recent months, women and girls have been hit hardest, particularly those who have recently become female-headed households and the hundreds who have been victims of SGBV, including abduction, rape and torture in the hands of the Islamic State. Displaced women and girls have little access to basic subsistence resources in addition to desperately needed protection services, psychosocial support, and sources of income. Women play multiple roles in driving security and peace, and conversely in driving violence – and are affected in a range of ways by the crises they find. The ‘Women, Peace and Security agenda,’ founded by UN Security Council Resolution 1325 (UNSCR 1325) in 2000 and followed by seven additional resolutions for ensuring that the needs and priorities of women and girls impacted by conflict are addressed, and that peace is brokered in an inclusive and sustainable manner. Under the supervision of the Country Representative and in close coordination with the Operations Manager and the Head of Programme, the Programme Management Specialist is responsible for managing the development, implementation, monitoring and reporting of programmes for the cluster office, including providing technical support to the implementation of the cluster office programme, managing the monitoring and reporting for the cluster office, overseeing and guiding people and budget management for the programme team, building partnerships and providing support in developing resource mobilization strategies, and managing knowledge building efforts.
