UNFPA, in collaboration with national and local partners, supports Women-Led Organizations (WLOs) as key actors in preventing and responding to gender-based violence (GBV), promoting gender equality, and advancing social norms change. Through the WLOs initiative, selected organizations receive programmatic and institutional support to implement community-based interventions aligned with national priorities and UNFPA’s strategic objectives.

Effective implementation of the WLOs initiative requires close coordination, timely follow-up on procedural and programmatic requirements, adherence to agreed standards, and systematic reporting on progress and results. To strengthen day-to-day coordination and monitoring, UNFPA seeks to engage a National Youth UN Volunteer (NUNV) to support the management of the WLOs initiative and facilitate follow-up between UNFPA, the umbrella implementing partner (IP), and supported WLOs.

The NUNV will work under the direct supervision of the Social Norms Specialist with the technical oversight of the M&E Specialist, contributing to effective implementation, accountability, and results achievement across the WLOs portfolio.
