How you can make a difference:
UNFPA, the United Nations Population Fund, is the lead UN agency for delivering a world where every pregnancy is wanted, every childbirth is safe and every young person’s potential is fulfilled. The Fund operates globally since 1969 in more than 150 countries and territories. UNFPA focuses on women and young people, because these are the groups whose rights are often compromised. UNFPA has been active in Ukraine since 1997.
In accordance with the organizational mandate and national development priorities of Ukraine, UNFPA implements a country program of technical assistance to Ukraine for 2018-2022. Among several priorities, the country office leads the inter-agency Gender-Based Cluster Coordination mechanism to ensure the timely delivery of GBV prevention and response services across the country; enhance the capacity of local and national actors to provide lifesaving GBV services in a safe and ethical manner, and generate information on the needs, gaps, and response activities to GBV for coordination, program improvement, and advocacy.
Since the start of the large-scale military invasion of Russia to Ukraine in February 2022, UNFPA and gender-based violence sub-cluster partners are implementing a nationwide Humanitarian Response Plan to provide life-saving GBV services to women and girls across Ukraine.
To enhance and scale up its coordination function at national and sub-national levels, the GBV subcluster requires improved information management to feed into the elaboration of programming strategies, humanitarian funding processes, mainstreaming GBV into other sectors, engaging in advocacy, and preparing situation reports (“sitreps”), supporting Flash Appeals, CERF and pooled funding requests with the data that is needed.
UNFPA is seeking highly-motivated candidates that share our passion of making a sound contribution to creating a Ukrainian society free from gender-based violence. We need strong professionals who are innovative, committed to excellence and keen to transform, inspire and deliver high impact and sustained results.
