UNFPA SURGE RESPONSE ROSTER - GBV POSITIONS
Are you a dedicated professional with expertise in gender-based violence prevention and response in emergencies? Do you thrive in challenging environments and want to make a tangible difference during crises? If so, the UNFPA Surge Roster needs you!
UNFPA is the United Nations Sexual and Reproductive Health Agency. Our mission is to deliver a world where every pregnancy is wanted, every childbirth is safe and every young person's potential is fulfilled.
We promote gender equality and empower women, girls, and young people to take control of their bodies and their futures. We work with partners in more than 150 countries to provide access to a wide range of sexual and reproductive health services. Our goal is ending unmet need for family planning, preventable maternal death, and gender-based violence and harmful practices including child marriage and female genital mutilation by 2030.
We are looking for candidates with the following profiles to join our Surge Response Roster:
GBV programme specialist to oversee the implementation of UNFPA’s GBV programming in a humanitarian emergency. UNFPA’s GBV programming in humanitarian emergencies is multi-sectoral and involves implementing partners and other stakeholders from the affected communities, such as NGO and government, UN agencies, and other national and international organizations that engage in comprehensive prevention and response initiatives in line with a survivors-centered approach.
GBV coordinator to systematize prevention and response interventions within the humanitarian architecture coordination mechanisms, such as GBV Sub-Sector/Cluster and GBV working groups. In cluster countries, the GBV coordinator leads the inter-agency GBV prevention and response efforts, with a focus on facilitating service delivery, informing strategic decision-making, planning and analysis, advocacy, monitoring and supporting contingency and preparedness capacities. In IDP and mixed settings, the GBV Coordinator represents the GBV Area of Responsibility (GBV AoR) and works closely with the Protection Cluster and the Child Protection AoR in addition to other clusters in the area of risk mitigation and GBV integration across the humanitarian system. In refugee settings, UNHCR leads all sector responses, while UNFPA is often asked to co-chair GBV prevention and response. While accountabilities and structures are different, GBV AoR standards and resources are applicable in all humanitarian contexts.
