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. The above is fulfilled through the triple mandate of the organization. Through the normative mandate we support the strengthening of global norms and standards. We also promote more effective coordination, coherence and gender mainstreaming across the UN system in support of commitments for gender equality and women’s empowerment; and as part of our operational mandate we support Member States to translate global norms and standards into legislation, policies and development plans at the regional, national and local levels. UN Women’s presence in the Republic of Moldova has evolved from being a project-based office in 2007 to a Country Office with full delegated authority as of 2015. Currently, UN Women Moldova Country Office is implementing its Strategic Note (SN) for 2018-2022, which is aligned with the Republic of Moldova-United Nations Partnership Framework for Sustainable Development 2018-2022 and the Global Strategic Plan of UN Women. The SN 2018-2022 aims at advancing progress under the following three Impact Areas: 1. Women lead, participate in and benefit equally from governance systems, including in the security sector, 2. Women have income security, decent work and economic autonomy, 3. All women and girls live a life free from all forms of violence. UN Women’s Strategic Note is fully aligned to the national priories on gender equality and women’s empowerment and is being development and implemented within the framework of the Partnership Framework for Sustainable Development 2018–2022 (PFSD, further as UNDAF). The PFSD/UNDAF is a medium-term strategic planning document that articulates the collective vision and response of the United Nations system to national development priorities and activities to be implemented in partnership with the Government of the Republic of Moldova and in close cooperation with international and national partners and civil society throughout the time period indicated. The strategic direction and the vision of the PFSD/UNDAF are fully aligned with national development priorities and aspirations. Four thematic areas have been selected for further pursuit: 1. Governance, human rights and gender equality; 2. Sustainable, inclusive and equitable economic growth; 3. Environmental sustainability and resilience; 4. Inclusive and equitable social development. In total four Result Group (RG) were established for coordination of the PFSD/UNDAF thematic areas. UN Women is part of three areas and is leading the RG 1 on Governance, human rights and gender equality as well as is part of other coordination thematic groups. This includes, UN Gender Thematic Group (UN GTG), UN Youth group, operations management group, communication group, monitoring and evaluation group, as well as acts as board members of the joint programmes and initiatives (ex. statistics, innovation etc.). Moreover, UN Women is part of the UN Common Chapter jointly with UNDP, UNFPA, UNICEF, a platform for joint actions to accelerate policy prioritization, investment and, ultimately, achievement of results. The Common Chapter group prioritized collaboration in the areas of Youth and Gender Equality, as well as data and monitoring. This is in response to the call by the UN Development system (UNDS) to work together more coherently to help Member States to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals. As per approved Strategic Note, UN Women will continue supporting UN concerted efforts on promoting gender equality and women’s empowerment, supplemented by UN Women contributions on coordinating the work on GE and WHR, leading Civil Society Advisory Group, advancing introduction of temporary special measures and increasing women’s leadership and participation in decision making in public and private sectors, securing women’s access, especially from rural areas to productive resources and services, providing social protection to the most excluded groups of women such as Roma and disabled, leading UN agencies efforts for ending violence against women and girls, promoting and protecting rights of migrant women. Taking into account the new challenges and tasks in the context of the current context in the country, as well as based on the lessons learnt from previous years implementation of the strategic note and in line with normative mandate, UN Women aims to further strengthen the fulfilment of its coordination mandate in the framework of SDGs, CEDAW, Beijing+25, and CSW. UN Women was acknowledged as a proactive and high-profile member of the UNCT and inter-ministerial platforms, with a strong voice among development partners advocating for the rights of women and gender equality. It was proposed that UN Women needs to offer more capacity building to other UN entities on gender and WHR and the need to facilitate the UN’s common and joint agenda on gender equality for policies and actions (especially in the area of EVAW) increasingly through joint and shared visioning of the solutions to the challenges was highlighted. Suggestions were also made to improve coordination between UN agencies and other partners focusing on priority domains and on a regular basis, for which the role of UN Women is crucial. Thus, in line with the above UN Women Moldova Country Office envisages to recruit a Coordination Associate to strengthen its coordination function at the country level. Under the overall guidance of the Country Representative and direct supervision of the Programme Specialist and in close collaboration with UN Women programme and operations teams, the Officer provides support to inter-agency coordination, resource mobilization and partnership building, as well as advocacy and communication. She/he provides support in promoting the UN Women’s coordination mandate to advance the full realization of women’s rights and opportunities, as well as supports improvement of efficiency and effectiveness of GEWE coordination at the country leveland contributes to development and implementation of UN Women Strategic Note, Common Country Assessment (CCA) and United Nations Development Assistance Frameworks (UNDAFs), Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as well as joint initiatives with the UN agencies.
