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's Peace, Security and Humanitarian Section is responsible for providing technical support to UN Women Country Offices in a number of areas, including: conflict prevention and peacebuilding, justice sector and security reform, promoting women's political participation and mainstreaming gender issues into governance reforms. It has global components but is grounded in country-level activities. The Section supports UN Women to fulfill its coordination mandate in the area of peace and security and UN system efforts to promote improved monitoring and reporting on the implementation of global commitments on women and peace and security, including as set out in Beijing Platform for Action and in Security Council resolutions 1325 (2000), and subsequent resolutions and relevant Statements by the President of the Security Council. In a bid to enhance the participation and leadership of women of Africa in a peaceful, stable and prosperous Africa as envisioned by Agenda 2063, the African Union Commission, through the Office of the African Union Commission (AUC) Special Envoy on Women, Peace and Security and UN Women are undertaking a project, with the support of the Federal Republic of Germany on “Women’s Leadership Initiative for Stability in Africa” for the period 2017 to 2021. It aims to operationalise the “African Women Leaders Network” (AWLN), an initiative that seeks to enhance the role and leadership of women in the transformation of Africa, in line with Agenda 2063 and the Global Sustainable development Agenda 2030. The African Union Permanent Observer Mission at the United Nations in New York will support the rollout of the project’s implementation. Moreover, the project will ensure, the AWLN is supported with the necessary coordination and administrative structures to facilitate its sustainability, including through strengthening of the Office of the AU Permanent Observer to the UN in New York. For this purpose, the AUC and UN Women seek to recruit a Policy Analyst on Women, Peace and Security to support the implementation of the project. The incumbent will report to the Chief of the Peace, Security and Humanitarian Section at UN Women Headquarters in New York and work in close consultation with the Office of the AUC Special Envoy on Women, Peace and Security in Addis Ababa and the AU Representative at the United Nations in New York. The incumbent will be based in the AU Permanent Observer Mission in New York.
