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. In 2018, UN Women Nigeria established a presence in Maiduguri, Borno State North East, Nigeria to support the efforts of the Government of Nigeria and other UN agencies towards the humanitarian response through targeted livelihoods support for women and girls and the broader transition from humanitarian relief to longer-recovery and development. UN Women is also engaged in coordination and technical support across the sectoral responses; capacity building for humanitarian workers; and undertakes various assessments and related initiatives to allow for evidence-based, gender-responsive response to the evolving crisis in the North East. The objective of UN Women programmes in the Northeast is to ensure protection for vulnerable women and girls as well as their equitable safe access to humanitarian and recovery assistance. The programmes also promote women’s meaningful participation and leadership in humanitarian and recovery processes. In this regard, UN Women, with funding support from the Government of Japan, is implementing a project on Empowering Women and Girls for Enhanced Gender-Based Violence Prevention and Response in Borno and Yobe States. The project is designed to contribute to reducing the spread of COVID-19 through support to women’s leadership and participation in preventing and responding to gender-based violence while expanding access to economic empowerment opportunities. Under the direct supervision of the UN Women Deputy Country Representative, and with strategic reporting to the Country Representative, the Project Manager is responsible for the leadership, substantive coordination and overall management of the Japan-funded project for results as well as managing and coordinating other UN Women interventions in the Northeast. The Project Manager works in close collaboration with the programme and operations team, UN Women Nigeria Country Office staff, Government, civil society and other humanitarian partners ensuring successful implementation of UN Women programmes in Northeast Nigeria
