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 DR Congo is based in Kinshasa, with sub-offices in Goma (North Kivu) and Bukavu (South Kivu). UN Women has been increasing its programmatic presence within the country and is in the process of developing its strategic country plan. Building on its past and current efforts, the office will focus on delivering on the following interlinked Programme areas, underpinned by support for intergovernmental and normative processes:

  • Governance, Women Leadership and political participation:

  • Women’s Economic Empowerment;

  • Women Peace, and Security with Gender in Humanitarian Action and SGBV;

  • Translating Global Standards and Norms on Gender Equality and Women’s Empowerment.

UN Women is currently implementing several programs in 2019 while drafting its strategic Note 2020-2024.

During the year. Consequently, the DRC Country Office (DRC CO) requires substantive M&E support especially given its active engagement in mobilizing additional resources with various other funding in the pipeline. In this regard the office requires substantive capacity and strategic guidance on monitoring and evaluation to ensure all programmes both new and existing are incorporating monitoring and reporting into programme formulation. This includes to oversee monitoring and

tracking of results against country and regional level targets and UN Women Strategic Plan with a emphasis on supporting implementing partners to monitor and track results and effectively plan processes for reporting. The office therefore urgently requires a monitoring and evaluation specialist to provide strategic guidance and support.

Reporting to the UN Women DRC CO Resident Representative, the Monitoring and Reporting Analyst will provide support to the DRC CO colleagues in incorporating monitoring and reporting into programme formulation as well tracking against Strategic Note/Plan targets and the reporting of results to internal and external audiences.
