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. UN Women Ethiopia Country Office (ECO) works with key partners ranging from government, civil society and UN organizations in development and humanitarian settings to enhance gender equality and empowerment of women in Ethiopia. In its work, UN Women ECO is focusing on four main development result areas: 1) Women supported to lead and participate in decision-making at all levels; 2) Women, especially the poorest and most excluded, are economically empowered and benefit from development; 3) Women and girls live a life free from violence; and 4) Governance and national planning fully reflect accountability for gender equality commitments and priorities. All result areas are aligned with SDGs, the United Nations Sustainable Development Cooperation Framework (UNSCDF) 2020-2025 for Ethiopia as well as the national development plans and priorities, articulating UN Women’s contribution to achieving national priorities, goals and results as set out in the UNSDCF.
To implement its humanitarian programme, UN Women Ethiopia is seeking national consultant to develop a training package on the humanitarian architecture, deliver this training to local women-led organisations / women rights organisations (WROs) in Amara and Afar, organize and facilitate two policy dialogue events for local WLOs/WROs and humanitarian cluster partners in Amhara and Afar, develop a contextualized humanitarian handbook for local WLOs/WROs in Ethiopia, and develop relevant tools to monitor GBV prevention strategies. This consultancy will require travel to the field and the consultant will be responsible for coordination with implementing partners and the UN Women humanitarian team to understand the relevant project and develop locally relevant tools to enhance local WLOs/WROs meaningful engagement in humanitarian action. The consultant will conduct the work remotely and meet regularly with the UN Women humanitarian programme team. The consultant will work under the supervision of the Humanitarian Action Programme Specialist at UN Women Ethiopia. |
