Economic justice 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.

In Moldova, promoting gender equality is a national priority aligned with the UN Women Strategic Note (2023–2027) and the UN Sustainable Development Cooperation Framework.

Gender-responsive public procurement (GRP) is a key tool to advance women's economic empowerment, increase participation of women-led enterprises in public tenders, and integrate gender equality into supply chains and public spending.

Gender-responsive procurement (GRP) as part of the women’s empowerment principles, is a powerful tool to boost women's economic empowerment, promote gender equality, and build more equitable societies. It contributes to the implementation of the Women Empowerment Principle nr. 5 “Implement enterprise development, supply chain and marketing practices that empower women” aiming to facilitate the participation of women-led small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in public procurement, infusing gender equality throughout the supply chain, diversifying male-dominated sectors, and supporting supply chain diversification, among other initiatives. Gender-responsive procurement should be understood not only as supporting women-led businesses to get public procurement contracts, but also as supporting gender-responsive enterprises regardless of ownership, thereby potentially allowing all women and men to benefit from decent business and employment opportunities.

Rationale
GRP is a relatively new concept for Moldova. Some of the international corporations in Moldova implement it as part of their CSR commitments at regional and international level. However, the level of public procurement in Moldova GRP is not directly considered. The need to integrate gender-responsive measures in public procurement was identified and agreed upon by the members of the Economic Council under the Prime Minister and, as a result, included in the Road Map on Women Economic Empowerment of the Economic Council.

By incorporating gender equality measures into the public procurement process, GRP supports the socio-economic benefits of gender equality. Positively impacting the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) per capita and promoting economic growth, implementing gender equality measures in procurement enhances the economy's productivity, resulting in improved quality and pricing of goods and services.

Education and Certification:

Master’s degree in public administration, social studies, finance, gender studies, and/or any other degree relevant to the requirements of the TOR;

A first-level university degree (bachelor's), combined with four additional years of qualifying experience, may be accepted in lieu of the advanced university degree.

Experience:

A minimum of 5 years of work experience in the public procurement system, including progressive expertise in gender-responsive procurement, etc is required.

Previous experience working with public authorities to enhance their capacities and improve processes and strategies, preferably in the field of public procurement is required.

About IPA
Innovations for Poverty Action (IPA) is a research and policy nonprofit that discovers and advances what works to improve the lives of people living in poverty. IPA brings together researchers and decision-makers to design, rigorously evaluate, and refine these solutions and their applications, ensuring that the evidence created is used to improve the lives of people living in poverty. In recent decades, trillions of dollars have been spent on programs designed to reduce global poverty, but clear evidence of which programs succeed is rare, and when evidence does exist, decision-makers often do not know about it. IPA exists to bring together leading researchers and these decision-makers to ensure that the evidence we create leads to a tangible impact on the world. Since its founding in 2002, IPA has worked with over 600 leading academics to conduct over 1,000 evaluations in 52 countries. This research has informed hundreds of successful programs that now impact millions of individuals worldwide.

Job Summary

About Pacific Labour Mobility Support Program
The Pacific Australia Labour Mobility (PALM) scheme is a signature initiative for the Australian Government that enables workers from 9 Pacific Island Countries (PICs) and Timor-Leste to work in priority sectors in Australia. The Pacific Labour Mobility Support Program's (PLMSP) role is to provide the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) and governments in 9 PICs and Timor-Leste with support to enable workers to access PALM scheme in inclusive ways that maximise the benefits for the workers and national economies while minimising risks from labour mobility participation. Palladium is contracted to deliver PLMSP on behalf of DFAT.
This Opportunity
We're looking for an experienced Gender-Based Violence (GBV) Program Coordinator to bring our Preventing and Responding to Gender-Based Violence in the PALM Scheme initiative to life across the Pacific and Timor-Leste.
This is a meaningful, hands-on role for someone who has experience working in GBV prevention and/or response, has a strong understanding of the Pacific and/or Timor Leste context and is ready to take ownership of a significant body of work - without stepping into a line management role. You'll be part of a small team focussed on GBV under our broader GEDSI program: designing and delivering activities, building partnerships, shaping training and resources, and making sure our approach is culturally grounded, evidence-based, and genuinely useful for PALM workers, their families and the communities they come from.
You'll work closely with our GEDSI team, contribute to the wider PLMSP GEDSI Strategy, and engage directly with DFAT, DEWR, faith-based organisations, GBV service providers and partners across Australia, the Pacific and Timor-Leste. It's a role with real scope, real influence, and a real opportunity to shape how GBV is addressed in one of Australia's most important regional programs.
This is a fixed-term opportunity, based in Brisbane, Canberra or Suva, with a flexible hybrid arrangement (minimum 50% in-office presence each week).
If this opportunity interests you, we encourage you to apply promptly. Please note that only shortlisted applicants will be contacted.

TERMS OF REFERENCE

UNICEF is committed to advancing gender equality and the empowerment of all girls and women as central to its mandate to uphold the rights of every child. This commitment is outlined in the Strategic Plan (SP) 2026–2029, which positions gender equality as a core principle for achieving child rights, and elaborated in the UNICEF Gender Equality Action Plan (UGEAP) 2026–2029. Targeted investments in adolescent girls are an important part of this commitment. In parallel, UNICEF is guided by the seven pillars of its Accountability to Affected Populations (AAP) Framework and adheres to the Inter-Agency Standing Committee (IASC) definition of AAP, as well as the Core Humanitarian Standard (CHS) on Quality and Accountability. These frameworks ensure that affected populations are placed at the center of humanitarian action and are able to participate meaningfully in decisions that affect them.

A Gender Equality and AAP Programmatic Review is a structured process that enables UNICEF Country Offices (CO) to assess gaps, prioritize areas for COs to introduce or strengthen gender equality programming, enhance its AAP commitments and align their programmes with the UGEAP and SP. It supports prioritization and planning of programming and emergency preparedness to achieve the key gender equality results identified. The purpose of this consultancy is to support the undertaking of a GPR and AAP programmatic review in UNICEF Lebanon Country Office (LCO) to shape and refine country programme planning alignment with the UNICEF GEAP 2026-2029.

In anticipation of the new LCO Country Program Document 2028-2032, this consultancy will support a Gender Equality and AAP Programmatic Review. The last GPR in Lebanon was conducted in 2020 during the current CPD. The Gender Equality and AAP Programmatic Review highlights how a Country Programme can strengthen gender equality programming and AAP minimum standards in alignment with the UNICEF Gender Equality Action Plan and Strategic Plan 2026–2029, and UNICEF’s AAP commitments.

Objective and Purpose of the Assignment
The Pacific Private Sector Development Initiative (PSDI) is a regional technical assistance facility cofinanced by the Government of Australia, the Government of New Zealand and the Asian Development Bank (ADB). Since 2006, PSDI has been working with ADB’s Pacific Developing Member Countries to improve the enabling environment for business and support inclusive, private sector-led economic growth. PSDI Phase V will begin in late-2026, working across four core technical areas: business law reform, state-owned enterprise reform, access to finance, and economic empowerment of women (EEOW). PSDI’s approach to EEOW in Phase V will build on earlier phases, combining its targeted EEOW workstream with gender mainstreaming across the whole program. Phase V will also address disability inclusion in the private sector.

The EEOW Lead Expert will drive PSDI’s targeted workstream to enhance economic empowerment of women through private sector development in the Pacific. The emphasis will be on reforms to help women-owned
and women-led businesses grow and formalize, improving women’s access to finance and to leadership roles in private sector institutions, and building gender-responsive private sector policies, systems, tools and data. The EEOW Lead will also work with PSDI’s other thematic leads and a stable of thematic gender consultants to oversee program-wide gender mainstreaming; and coordinate PSDI's part-time disability expert, who reports to the EEOW Lead, so disability inclusion is reflected across the program.
