Background:
UN Women Jordan Country Office’s work is carried out in support of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan’s Triple Modernization Agenda (the Political System Modernization, the Economic Modernization Vision and its Engendered Strategy, and the Public Sector Reform), the National Strategy for Women in Jordan (2020-2025), the second Jordanian National Action Plan for the Implementation of Security Council 1325 on Women, Peace and Security (2022-2025), and the Jordan Response Plan for the Syria Crisis and is grounded in the principles and targets contained in the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW), the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and the Beijing Platform for Action. UN Women JCO implements its triple mandate by working with the government of Jordan to strengthen national systems and to develop laws and policies to advance gender equality and women’s empowerment; by working with the Government of Jordan, civil society and the private sector to support the implementation of international and national commitments to advance gender equality and women’s empowerment; and by strengthening coordination of the UN System and Development Partners in support of gender equality in Jordan.
The Jordanian National Committee for Women (JNCW) was established in 1992 to serve as the national machinery concerned with the empowerment and advancement of women in Jordan. As such, it is the oldest partner of UN Women in Jordan. The partnership between UN Women and JNCW currently cuts across all of the pillars of the National Strategy for Women (2020-2025) and nearly all of the UN Women Jordan Country Office Strategic Note (2023-2027). It is expressed through a series of formal Partnership Agreements as well as through joint initiatives and collaborations.
JNCW has recently embarked in an effort to review the National Strategy for Women and will be working closely with partners and stakeholders in 2025 to ensure that it is updated and that its timeline is extended.
In order to support the revision of the National Strategy for Women and to strengthen the efficiency of the collaboration between UN Women and the Jordanian National Commission for Women and the effectiveness of UN Women’s support to JNCW in its role as the women’s machinery in Jordan, UN Women is seeking to hire an experienced Strategic Planning and Coordination Specialist who will be embedded in JNCW and provide direct support to the Secretary General of JNCW.

Statements :
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.
Diversity and inclusion:
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.
