The role involves generating evidence for gender-responsive programming, strengthening the capacity of the Country Programme on Gender Equality, and organizing inter-agency coordination with civil society organizations.

This position is crucial for promoting gender equality and empowering women and girls within UNICEF's initiatives. Candidate Requirements: Experience in gender programming Strong analytical skills Ability to conduct training and capacity building Experience in inter-agency coordination Knowledge of gender equality frameworks Excellent communication skills Details Mission and objectives UNICEF is mandated by the United Nations General Assembly to advocate for the protection of children's rights, to help meet their basic needs and to expand their opportunities to reach their full potential. UNICEF is guided by the Convention on the Rights of the Child and strives to establish children's rights as enduring ethical principles and international standards of behaviour towards children. UNICEF insists that the survival, protection and development of children are universal development imperatives that are integral to human progress. UNICEF mobilizes political will and material resources to help countries, particularly developing countries, ensure a "first call for children" and to build their capacity to form appropriate policies and deliver services for children and their families. UNICEF is committed to ensuring special protection for the most disadvantaged children – victims of war, disasters, extreme poverty, all forms of violence and exploitation, and those with disabilities. UNICEF responds in emergencies to protect the rights of children. In coordination with United Nations partners and humanitarian agencies, UNICEF makes its unique facilities for rapid response available to its partners to relieve the suffering of children and those who provide their care. UNICEF is non-partisan and its cooperation is free of discrimination. In everything it does, the most disadvantaged children and the countries in greatest need have priority. UNICEF aims, through its country programmes, to promote the equal rights of women and girls and to support their full participation in the political, social and economic development of their communities. UNICEF works with all its partners towards the attainment of the sustainable human development goals adopted by the world community and the realization of the vision of peace and social progress enshrined in the Charter of the United Nations. Context For 70 years, UNICEF has been working on the ground in 190 countries and territories to promote children's survival, protection and development. The world's largest provider of vaccines for developing countries, UNICEF supports child health and nutrition, safe drinking water and sanitation, quality basic education for all boys and girls, and the protection of children from violence, exploitation, and AIDS. UNICEF is funded entirely by the voluntary contributions of individuals, businesses, foundations and governments. UNICEF’s commitment to gender quality and the empowerment of women and girls is central to many of its policy and programme documents and the results are realized in its implementation reports as well as organizational practices. UNICEF’s mission statement also expresses that the organization aims, through its country programmes, to promote the rights of children, women, and girls as well as to support their full participation in the political, social, and economic development of their communities. In the same light, the promotion of gender equality and the empowerment of women and girls is fundamental to the mandate of UNICEF emanating from various global instruments such as the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC), Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW), Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action among others. To realize this, the UNICEF Gender Policy (2021-2030), and Gender Action Plan (GAP III 2022 - 2025) are key documents that elaborate the organizational mandate and commitment to gender equality and facilitate the strengthening of gender mainstreaming in all areas of UNICEF's work. UNICEF’s Gender Action Plan (GAP) 2022–2025 considers gender equality as both an organizational priority and a cross-cutting core value that guides programmatic work across its five Goal Areas. The GAP 2022–2025 outlines the gender dimensions of programmatic results that apply to development, human
