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 Finance Associate will support a UN Women and UNFPA jointly led EU 4 Gender Equality: Together against gender stereotype and gender-based violence programme, phase II (50%) and other related gender projects. UN Women and UNFPA are globally recognized as leading agencies in gender equality and the prevention of harmful practices against women and girls. Both agencies have long experience of challenging gender stereotypes and practices, effecting social change and advancing women’s and girls’ empowerment. The efforts of both agencies are complementary and further enhanced by their work with other United Nations agencies, civil society, and member states. Both agencies draw on considerable knowledge globally, regionally, and from the local level, and play a facilitating and convening role to involve all actors in the achievement of Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 5 and other SDGs, as gender equality is a precondition for sustainable development.
The second phase of the “EU 4 Gender Equality: Together against gender-stereotypes and gender-based violence” project[1], funded by the European Union started on 1 January 2024 and will continue until 30 June 2026. The project works in countries of Eastern Partnership (Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Moldova, and Ukraine) and has a regional component. The overall objective of the programme’s phase II remains – to ensure equal rights and opportunities for women and men of the Eastern Partnership Countries in family and public life. The programme will aim to reduce gender discriminatory attitudes and practices between women and men in institutional and community spheres, including unpaid domestic and care work, by continuing and upscaling successful initiatives and interventions from the phase I, including but not limited to building evidence and knowledge on social norms change, implementing innovative communication and advocacy campaigns and continuing with subgrants to successful interventions by civil society organizations (CSOs). Furthermore, by creating new and upscaling previously created Fathers’ Schools, building capacity of facilitators and gender advocates, advocating for equal sharing of care work and domestic responsibilities by promoting family-friendly policies in the national legislation and among the non-state actors, etc. The prevention of gender-based violence is an integral component under the objective.
The Finance Associate will also provide support to UN Women’s Humanitarian Programme (25%) and UNFPA’s regional programme Expanding Choices phase II (25%). The Expanding Choices phase II aims to promote gender-responsive family policies (GRFP) in the private sector through legislative and normative frameworks and creating inclusive labour conditions and opportunities in Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo, North Macedonia, and Serbia.

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.
At UN Women, we are committed to creating a diverse and inclusive environment of mutual respect. UN Women recruits, employs, trains, compensates, and promotes regardless of race, religion, color, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, ability, national origin, or any other basis covered by appropriate law. All employment is decided on the basis of qualifications, competence, integrity and organizational need.
If you need any reasonable accommodation to support your participation in the recruitment and selection process, please include this information in your application.
UN Women has a zero-tolerance policy on conduct that is incompatible with the aims and objectives of the United Nations and UN Women, including sexual exploitation and abuse, sexual harassment, abuse of authority and discrimination.
