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. To support member states in implementing the 2030 Agenda, UN Women’s Flagship Programme Initiative, “Making Every Woman and Girl Count (MEWGC)” aims to affect a radical shift in the availability, accessibility and use of data and statistics on key aspects of gender equality and women’s empowerment. The regional component of the MEWGC Programme envisions a multi-year and multi-country programme of work with particular focus on implementing and supporting the regional and country activities in the region.

Under the guidance and the direction of the Deputy Regional Director as a primary supervisor and the Chief Statistician, Global Programme Manager of MEWGC in HQ as a secondary supervisor, the Statistics Specialist is responsible for managing and overseeing the implementation of Making Every Woman and Girl Count at the regional level, providing knowledge management and capacity development services, managing advocacy, partnership building and networking initiatives and contributing to monitoring and reporting.

Note: 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. |
