2.PROJECT DESCRIPTION

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 Cambodia Country Office (CCO) Strategic Note (SN) 2019-2023 focuses on three key priorities to advance gender equality and women’s empowerment (GEWE). The first priority is to strengthen government capacity and accountability to integrate international norms and commitments (CEDAW, SDGs, Beijing PfA, Sendai) into national legislative and regulatory frameworks, including supporting dialogue and CSO engagement in accountability for GEWE commitments.  The second area of focus is Ending Violence Against Women where CCO’s focus includes creating an enabling environment to prevent, respond to and prosecute all forms of GBV as well as ensuring that marginalised women who experience violence, including women migrant workers, access services and protections.  Thirdly, CCO works to enhance gender responsiveness in climate change action and Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR).  A focus on empowerment, women’s leadership, challenging negative gender norms and leaving no one behind runs through the programme. 

Due to Covid-19 pandemic, programme actions for Normative and Gender and Climate Change programmes that involve gathering/mobilizing of participants have been delayed with the expectation to be implemented in the last quarter of 2020. Though Covid-19 remains the top concern for public health, since early of August 2020 restrictions have been eased with reinforcement of public health precautious measures, including school reopening, participating in religious festivity etc.  The delayed programme activities are replanned between October and December 2020. In this regard, it needs additional resource to put plan into actions as much as possible. UN Women Cambodia Country Office (CCO) is seeking a National Consultant to provide operational and programme support to speed up and deliver satisfied programme outputs.
