Job Description
Background:
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.
One of the key areas of UN Women`s work in Ukraine is Women, Peace and Security (WPS). In partnership with the Ministry of Social Policy, Family and Unity (MoSPFU), UN Women provides support to national, regional, and local authorities and institutions in the implementation of the UN Security Council Resolution 1325 and subsequent resolutions on Women, Peace and Security. UN Women supported the state institutions with the development and amendment of a National Action Plan for Implementation of UNSCR 1325 on WPS for 2021-2025 (NAP 1325), which was adopted in October 2020 1 , and amended on 16 December 2022 2 . UN Women is committed to providing technical support to the MoSPFU in the implementation and monitoring of the NAP 1325 by improving the monitoring, evaluation and reporting (MER) tools and raising awareness and capacities of responsible actors 3 on the use of the NAP 1325 MER tools. Furthermore, UN Women is continuously analyzing the information collected and reported by NAP 1325 implementers at all levels to ensure data is displayed in user-friendly ways, making results visible and addressing challenges in implementation that can be further supported.
To further support the consolidated efforts of the Parliament, Government, women’s groups, and civil society organizations (CSOs) to meet the state commitments on gender equality and women’s rights, including CEDAW, UNSCR 1325 and SDGs, through governance reforms and peace and security processes, UN Women launched the project “She Demines”, funded by the Department of Foreign Affairs, Trade and Development of Canada and the Ministry of Foreign and European Affairs of the Republic of Croatia. UN Women enhances women’s meaningful participation in and equal benefit from political, peace and security processes at all levels in Ukraine. This will be achieved by supporting meaningful participation of women and their organisations by supporting the government at all levels in implementing WPS commitments in sustainable and inclusive ways.
To support these efforts, UN Women is now seeking a National Consultant to provide expert and technical advice to the MoSPFU on data collection, analysis, and reporting on the NAP 1325, as well as on preparing the 2025 annual report and finalising reporting for 2021-2025.
