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 Women’s Peace and Humanitarian Fund (WPHF) is a partnership between the United Nations, Member States, and the civil society, which supports women led and women’s rights organizations working to build peace and provide humanitarian response throughout the world. Since the end of 2016, the WPHF has been supporting 56 civil society organizations and is present in several countries in Africa, Latin America, Arab States and the Pacific region. UN Women hosts the Secretariat of the Women’s Peace and Humanitarian Fund. The WPHF Secretariat provides support to the Funding Board, mobilizes resources from Governments, companies, foundations and individuals, provides day to day support to Country Offices implementing WPHF programmes, ensures timely and quality monitoring and reporting. The Secretariat’s mandate is also to strengthen stakeholders’ knowledge of and engagement with women, peace and security issues through proper internal and external communications, advocacy and outreach. Finally, the Secretariat provides knowledge management services for the WPHF, and has been mandated to establish a Community of Practice (CoP) for WPHF partners and grantees. In the WPHF supported countries, UN Women provides Secretariat services to the National Steering Committee and serves as the management entity for civil society organizations, and ensures proper monitoring, reporting and evaluation, as well as capacity building for civil society organizations on the ground. In Africa, the WPHF has invested funding in Burundi, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Mali. In partnership with the Spotlight Initiative, it is also opening in 2019 country allocations in Liberia, Malawi, Nigeria and Uganda, bringing to 7 the number of countries where the WPHF operates in Africa. Under the direct supervision of the UN Women Country representative - Uganda and the supervision of the Head Secretariat – Women’s Peace and Humanitarian Fund, the Programme Management Specialist is responsible for overseeing the management, development, implementation, monitoring and reporting of Women’s Peace and Humanitarian Fund in Africa. This includes providing technical support to the implementation of the WPHF programme in the 7 countries (and any other additional country in the Africa region in the future), overseeing the monitoring of progress against mutually agreed results frameworks and performance indicators, providing capacity building for civil society organizations, monitoring WPHF programme financial situation to ensure adherence to delivery rates and utilization of resources to meet agreed upon targets and results, reviewing and developing partnerships and resource mobilization strategies; and leading knowledge management efforts.
