Antecedentes

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 is mandated by the UN Security Council to lead on UN system-wide coordination on Women, Peace, and Security, and to this end, UN Women has been working with governments, UN partners and civil society through the region to support women’s participation and influence at all levels of decisionmaking to prevent and resolve conflict and to address issues of extremism. Women across divides play a crucial role in mobilizing actors for inclusive peacebuilding through collective action and mediation at the formal and informal levels. Supporting them in mobilizing support and enhancing their voices can contribute to resuming and continuing peace dialogue in a more inclusive way.

UN Women in Libya

In line with the national priorities and existing frameworks, UN Women has opened a programme presence in Libya, to support the international community’s response to the complex humanitarian situation and security challenges facing the country. In Libya, women’s participation in the peace and political process remains uncertain and insufficient. The programme will build on the achievements of its Regional Office for Arab States, enhancing women’s capacities to actively engage in the national dialogue and the peace building process. The programme will aim to expand, develop and implement programmes and projects in Libya, developing effective partnerships with Government counterparts, UN system agencies and organizations, civil society organizations, and with bilateral and non-traditional donors in order to promote inter-agency partnerships, support for UN reform, and the mobilization of visibility and resources to advance gender equality and women's empowerment.

Reporting to the dual Country Representative for Libya and Tunisia, a consultant is required to support the expanding programme presence of UN Women in Libya. The consultant will be based in Tunisia and will provide support to the Representative in the implementation of the programme in Libya to enhance women’s participation in political and peace processes, ensuring the successful achievement of UN Women programmatic objectives.

The creation of UN Women came about as part of the UN reform agenda, bringing together resources and mandates for greater impact.
