Contract

This is a UNV contract. More about UNV contracts.

The gender team at UNDP is looking for Online Volunteers for the COVID-19 Global Gender Response Tracker to research government policy responses to COVID-19 through a gender and climate lens. The online volunteers will help the team to conduct in-depth research on economic/fiscal, social protection, labour market, and violence against women policies, and help to analyze these policies for their impact on women, girls, and the environment. Online Volunteers on the tracker will be responsible for attending bi-weekly group training sessions via Zoom, collecting and entering data into existing templates, and validating data. Online Volunteers should be available to work on this project until December 2021. The new gender-environment dimension of the tracker will help monitor inequalities in COVID-19 response, create opportunities for advocacy, and strengthen countries’ resilience to future shocks.

• COVID-19 Response

• Gender equality and the advancement of women

  The COVID-19 Global Gender Response Tracker monitors policy measures enacted by governments worldwide to tackle the COVID-19 crisis, and highlights responses that have integrated a gender lens. Launched in September 2020, it includes national measures that address women’s economic and social security, including unpaid care work, the labour market and violence against women. Co-created by both entities, the tracker is coordinated by UNDP with substantive leadership and technical contributions from UN Women. It was updated in March 2021 to include over 3,100 policy measures across 219 countries and territories, as well as new data on women's participation in national COVID-19 task forces, which was compiled with the Gender Inequality Research Lab at the University of Pittsburgh and Online Volunteers. The COVID-19 pandemic has revealed pre-existing structural economic inequalities and injustices that can no longer be ignored. This includes gender-based inequalities, such as the uneven distribution of care responsibilities, women’s limited access to formal employment and social protection, and pervasive violence against women, which are now being exacerbated during the COVID-19 crisis.
