UNDP is committed to achieving workforce diversity in terms of gender, nationality and culture. Individuals from minority groups, indigenous groups and persons with disabilities are equally encouraged to apply. All applications will be treated with the strictest confidence. UNDP does not tolerate sexual exploitation and abuse, any kind of harassment, including sexual harassment, and discrimination. All selected candidates will, therefore, undergo rigorous reference and background checks.
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 United Nations Trust Fund to End Violence against Women (UN Trust Fund) was established through the UN General Assembly Resolution 50/166 in 1996. The UN Trust Fund is a global multi-lateral grant making mechanism supporting national efforts to prevent and end violence against women and girls, one of the most widespread human rights violations in the world. It provides technical assistance and funding to advance the development of innovative models and strategic interventions in the area of ending violence against women and girls. Since 2010, UN Women has administered the UN Trust Fund on behalf of the UN system, providing a strong institutional foundation and field support through a global infrastructure of country and regional offices.
The UN Trust Fund invests in innovative, demand-driven, evidence-based solutions and life-changing initiatives led by civil society and women’s rights organizations. The long-term vision of the UN Trust Fund is a world of global solidarity in which all women and girls live free from all forms of violence and enjoy and exercise their human rights. To help achieve this vision, the UN Trust Fund focuses on enabling CSOs, especially Women’s Rights Organizations (WROs) and those representing the most marginalized groups, to play a central role in delivering survivor-centered and demand-driven initiatives and support their programmes to achieve sustainable impact on ending violence against women and girls (VAW/G) in a manner that contributes to global solidarity, partnerships and stronger, inclusive feminist movements (UN Trust Fund Strategic Plan for 2021-2025). In this context, the UN Trust Fund is partnering with the European Union UN Women to implement a new programme to strengthen coalition building and advocacy to end gender-based violence against women and girls.
With a grants portfolio of USD$ 35 million spanning over 20 countries across Sub-Saharan Africa, the UN Trust Fund aims to better adapt to? changes and ?more effectively advance its strategic plan, including by accelerating efforts to eliminate all forms of VAWG as part of the EU Global Action on the Prevention and Elimination of Gender Based Violence’s new initiative, the A.C.T programme (Advocacy, Coalition Building and Transformative Feminist Action to End Violence against Women) developed by the EU and UN Women.

Note:
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.
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. All selected candidates will be expected to adhere to UN Women’s policies and procedures and the standards of conduct expected of UN Women personnel and will therefore undergo rigorous reference and background checks. (Background checks will include the verification of academic credential(s) and employment history. Selected candidates may be required to provide additional information to conduct a background check.)
