Historique

I. Organizational Context

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 Strategic Plan (2022-2025) sets out the global vision to ‘Achieve gender equality, the empowerment of all women and girls, and the fulfilment of their human rights’. This goal frames UN Women ECO’s work and guides its contributions to Ethiopia’s United Nations Sustainable Development Framework (UNSDCF), and frames ECO’s program contributions to UN Women’s global outcomes and indicators, which are organized in four thematic priority areas; ending violence against women and girls; governance and participation in public life; economic empowerment and resilience; and peace and security, humanitarian action, and disaster risk reduction.

One of the priorities Programme of UN Women ECO is Ending Violence against Women and Girls (EVAWG). The Programme broadly focuses on a comprehensive approach that encompasses legislation and policies, prevention, services for survivors, research, and data. UN Women works with key partners from government, civil society and UN organizations in development and humanitarian settings to address legal gaps and strengthen policy frameworks with regard to protecting women survivors of violence and their rights; to expand the provision of legal and protection services to women; to provide awareness and raising initiatives on legal instruments and mechanisms on violence against women and girls (VAWG). Under the EVAWG programme, UN Women works to ensure women and girls who have experience violence access available, accessible and quality essential services so the impact of violence is addressed through the development and rolling out of various tools, guidelines and standards to enhance the capacity of service providers for the provision of survivor centered services.

Reporting to the Programme Specialist EVAWG, the Programme Officer contributes to the effective management of UN Women programmes in the ECO by providing substantive inputs to programme design, formulation, implementation and evaluation. The Programme Officer guides and facilitates the delivery of UN Women programmes by monitoring results achieved during implementation and ensuring appropriate application of systems and procedures and develops enhancements if necessary. The Programme Officer works in close collaboration with the programme and operations team, UN Women HQ personnel, Government officials, multi and bi-lateral donors and civil society ensuring successful UN Women programme implementation under portfolio.
