Historique

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. 

Composed of representatives from donors, United Nations entities, and civil society organizations, the Women’s Peace and Humanitarian Fund (WPHF) is a global pooled funding mechanism which aims to re-energize action and stimulate a significant increase in financing for women’s participation, leadership, and empowerment in peace and security processes and humanitarian response. The WPHF is a flexible and rapid financing mechanism. It supports quality interventions designed to enhance the capacity of local women to prevent conflict, respond to crises and emergencies, and seize key peacebuilding opportunities. The overall goal of the WPHF is to achieve peaceful and gender equal societies. Achievement of this goal will require that women are empowered to participate in, contribute to, and benefit from conflict prevention, crisis response, peacebuilding, and recovery.

Since its launch in 2016, WPHF has been supporting over 55 civil society organizations and is present in seven countries or group of countries. The WPHF is governed by a Funding Board at the global level, which is comprised of four UN entities (currently UN Women, UNDP, UNFPA and PBSO), four donor Member States (currently Austria, Canada, the Netherlands and Norway), as well as four Civil Society Organizations (currently Cordaid, GNWP, APWAPS and WANEP). In the Philippines, WPHF was launched in 2021. Nine Civil Society Organizations have been selected as Implementing Partners for the WPHF Programme. UN Women acts as the WPHF’s Technical Secretariat at the global level. UN Women also acts as Management Entity for civil society organizations.

Reporting to the Programme Specialist Women Peace and Security and Humanitarian Action (SB5), the Project Coordination Analyst is responsible for coordinating the WPHF which includes coordinating relationships with national partners and stakeholders, and the monitoring and reporting, and the finances and beneficiaries of the WPHF.

In July 2010, the United Nations General Assembly created UN Women, the United Nations Entity for Gender Equality, and the Empowerment of Women. The creation of UN Women came about as part of the UN reform agenda, bringing together resources and mandates for greater impact. It merges and builds on the important work of four previously distinct parts of the UN system (DAW, OSAGI, INSTRAW, and UNIFEM), which focused exclusively on gender equality and women's empowerment.
