Historique

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 UN Women Pacific Multi-Country Office is based in Suva, Fiji and works alongside over 20 other UN agencies in the region and in 14 countries: Cook Islands, Federated States of Micronesia, Fiji, Kiribati, Nauru, Niue, Palau, Republic of Marshall Islands, Samoa, Solomon Islands, Tokelau, Tonga, Tuvalu and Vanuatu.

Under its Strategic Note 2018-2022, UN Women Fiji MCO focuses on delivering on four interlinked programme areas underpinned by support for intergovernmental and normative processes:

Women’s Political Empowerment and Leadership
Women’s Economic Empowerment
Ending Violence against Women
Gender and Protection in Humanitarian Action and Disaster Risk Reduction

The ‘Consolidating peace, stability and social cohesion in Solomon Islands post-RAMSI’ project (January 2018 to June 2019) is the second of the UN’s Peacebuilding Fund (UN PBF) programme in the Solomon Islands. This project is to ensure continued support to Solomon Islands state and non-state actors to seek solutions addressing impediments to peace and development as identified in the national communique and agreed at the national and provincial dialogues, and women and youth summits previously organized during the first PBF funded project which ends in December 2017. The project will build consensus and facilitate initiatives to address key peacebuilding challenges such as reparations/reconciliation, land disputes, governance and social cohesion, in an inclusive manner, taking into account the voices of women and youth together with men. It will also help establish and institutionalize structures at the provincial level to help address the key peacebuilding challenges.

The implementing partners of the project are UNDP and UN Women Solomon Islands office, in cooperation with the Ministry of National Unity, Reconciliation and Peace (MNURP), Ministry of Women, Youth, Children and Family Affairs (MWYCFA), the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) and civil society groups.

This project aims to support sustaining peace in Solomon Islands in the immediate post RAMSI and election period through inclusive implementation of solutions addressing impediments to peace and development. UNDP and UN Women are shaping up a project with two key outcomes:

Consensus is built and actions and initiatives taken amongst state and non-state actors, including women and youth, to address conflict causes and triggers identified through the national and provincial dialogues, and youth and women’s summits.
Structures, inclusive spaces and solutions to address peacebuilding challenges identified through the national and provincial dialogues are established at the provincial level, institutionalized and effective.

Under the guidance and supervision of the Project Manager, the Programme Specialist – Gender and Peacebuilding is responsible for working with the UNDP and UN Women Project team as well as external implementation partners to ensure that gender analysis and women’s strategic participation are mainstreamed systematically in all activities of the project and to provide direct technical assistance on gender and peacebuilding to all the national partners including the Ministry of Peace and relevant provincial governments. She or he will ensure that activities led by UN Women are implemented timely and with good quality; and will have basic UN Women procedural understanding, in addition to substantive support and provide technical support in the delivery of women, peace and security.

In July 2010, the United Nations General Assembly created UN Women, the United Nations Entity for Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women. The creation of UN Women came about as part of the UN reform agenda, bringing together resources and mandates for greater impact. It merges and builds on the important work of four previously distinct parts of the UN system (DAW, OSAGI, INSTRAW and UNIFEM), which focused exclusively on gender equality and women's empowerment.
