Organizational Context and Purpose for the job
UNICEF adopted its new Gender Action Plan 2022-2025 (GAP) which is an ambitious effort at catalyzing field level programming and results that advance gender equality and the empowerment of women and girls in key areas of UNICEF’s work. The UNICEF Gender Action Plan 2022-2025 prioritizes a gender-equitable approach to promoting gender equality.
Developed in tandem with UNICEF’s new Gender Policy and Gender Action Plan (GAP), The UNICEF Strategic Plan for 2022-25 emphasizes structural and norms change to transform the underlying drivers of gender inequality and reflects an intersectional approach to the compounding social exclusion and marginalization related to factors like poverty, racism, disability and migration. With this new, transformative approach, UNICEF is strengthening the mainstreaming of gender equality throughout our programming and systems, while increasing investment in gender-related data.
The UNICEF Immunization Roadmap 2022?2030 outlines and updates UNICEF’s priorities in immunization through 2030. The importance of the equity agenda to reach unreached children and communities with full vaccination is one of the strategic shifts for UNICEF and partners. To increase immunization coverage, and to sustainably reach unreached children (?zero dose’) and missed communities -One of UNICEF organizational priorities -, it is necessary to understand and address the many ways in which gender interacts with additional socioeconomic, geographic, and cultural factors to influence access, uptake and delivery of vaccines.
