Background:

Pakistan is one of the eight pilot countries for the ‘One UN’ initiative that aims at achieving UN system wide coherence for greater development impact. Under the ‘One UN’, Pakistan has developed its second One UN Programme (OP11-2013-2017). UN organizations work together as a coordinated UN Country Team (UNCT) under the leadership of the UN Resident Coordinator with a view of having common programme, a common budget and a common administrative system.

The UN system in Pakistan is committed to strengthening its support to the country development strategy through its strategic interventions around gender equality and women’s empowerment, the development of new programmes and the provision of technical support to the UN Resident Coordinator (RC) and UNCT, as appropriate and required. This will enable the country team to continuously establish and implement programmes focused on gender equality and women's empowerment and to mainstream gender into the work of the UN system as a whole, i.e. through the implementation of UN System Wide Action Plan (SWAP) on Gender Equality and Women’s Empowerment.

The JPO shall provide technical support to the UN Women Country Office in the areas of strategic planning, programme development and inter agency coordination. In addition, she/he will support One UN processes at the appropriate level.
