GBV / VAWG Gender equality and Social inclusion (GESI) Leadership / governanceBackground/ContextUN Women’s Safe Cities and Safe Public Spaces approach addresses sexual harassment and other forms of violence against women and girls in public spaces through locally owned, evidence-based and multisectoral action. In Madhya Pradesh, UN Women works with state and city institutions to strengthen gender-responsive urban governance by linking women’s lived experiences and safety evidence with coordinated planning, budgeting, infrastructure and service improvements, institutional capacity, community participation, and stronger prevention and response systems. Within this broader state-level focus, Jabalpur provides an important city-level platform to translate these principles into sustained institutional practice and a model that can inform learning and replication across Madhya Pradesh.
Jabalpur launched its Safe Cities and Safe Public Spaces initiative in July 2025, building on the Bhopal Declaration and city leadership. The first year established the foundation for city-level action through institutional coordination, safety assessments, public-space improvements, capacity development, community engagement and public awareness.
The next phase will focus on consolidation and institutionalization rather than expansion of standalone activities. This includes strengthening monitoring, evaluation and learning systems; embedding gender-responsive approaches within the routine functioning of Jabalpur Municipal Corporation, Police, Women and Child Development, Transport, Railways, Education, Tourism, Health and allied departments; and ensuring that women’s safety, accessibility and inclusion are reflected in planning, budgeting, maintenance, service delivery and review mechanisms.
By the end of the assignment, the consultant is expected to help UN Women and city partners achieve a clearer institutional model for safe and enabling public spaces in Jabalpur: validated evidence and trackers in use; costed and owned departmental action plans; visible and monitored improvements in priority locations; strengthened referral and response linkages; and practical documentation that supports sustainability and replication in other cities of Madhya Pradesh.
Within this context, UN Women seeks a Gender Coordinator to support the State Lead and Policy Specialist, Madhya Pradesh, in providing city-levelclose coordination, technical assistance, monitoring with the State Lead on, documentation and learning support for the Safe Cities and Safe Public Spaces initiative in Jabalpur. The role will prioritize consolidation of existing work, institutionalization of gender-responsive approaches across relevant departments, and evidence-based planning for sustained improvements in public spaces
Required QualificationsEducation
• Master’s degree or equivalent in Gender Studies, Social Sciences, Social Work, Urban Planning, Public Policy, Public Administration, Development Studies or a related field.
Experience

• Demonstrated experience working with government, preferably urban local bodies, district administration, police, transport or other public-service institutions.
• Experience in coordinating multi-stakeholder programmes, undertaking participatory assessments, facilitating capacity development, and monitoring implementation.
• Experience in results-based reporting, analysis and development of practical tools, guidance notes or knowledge products.

Gender equality and Social inclusion (GESI)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.
The UN Women Regional Office for East and Southern Africa (ESARO) advances gender equality and women’s empowerment across the region through its triple mandate: normative support, UN system coordination and operational activities. In countries where UN Women has no physical presence, ESARO provides demand-driven support to Resident Coordinators and UN Country Teams through a non-physical presence modality, drawing on regional and global expertise.
In Namibia, the Programme Specialist will be embedded in the Resident Coordinator’s Office (RCO) and will support the Resident Coordinator and UN Country Team (UNCT) to strengthen the integration of gender equality and women’s empowerment across UN Cooperation Framework implementation, inter-agency coordination, accountability, partnerships and joint initiatives. The position will work closely with the RCO, the Gender Theme Group (GTG) and relevant Results Groups, while serving as a bridge to UN Women ESARO’s technical, normative and coordination support.
The position will be under the overall supervision of the UN Women ESARO Regional Coordination & Normative Specialist and the day-to-day supervision of the Head of the Resident Coordinator’s Office. The post does not constitute a stand-alone UN Women country programme function; its primary purpose is to strengthen coherent UNCT support for gender equality in Namibia and facilitate access to UN Women’s regional expertise.
Recruitment Qualifications
Education and certification:- Master’s degree (or equivalent) in Gender Studies, International Development, Human Rights, Public Policy, Social Sciences or a related field.
- A first-level university degree in combination with two additional years of qualifying experience may be accepted in lieu of the advanced university degree.

- Demonstrated experience in gender mainstreaming and results-based planning is required. Experience with UN system coordination, Cooperation Framework processes, UNCT-SWAP/GEM, normative frameworks, and partnership building with government, civil society and UN entities is highly desirable.
- Experience in the Namibian development context is an asset.
Language Requirements:- Fluency in English is required.
- Knowledge of a national language of Namibia is an asset.
