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.

In Ukraine, UN Women is committed to delivering results across strategic priorities, exercising its triple mandate encompassing normative support, UN system coordination, and operational activities to mobilize urgent and sustained action to achieve gender equality and the empowerment of all women and girls. UN Women has long been actively supporting local priority areas in Ukraine from increased political participation to gender mainstreaming in public policy, and economic development.

The war in Ukraine has already resulted in significant life loss, unprecedented internal displacement towards neighbouring countries, and devastating destruction of infrastructure. The security situation and the overall operational environment have deteriorated rapidly since the outbreak of the war. According to Ukraine Humanitarian Response Plan for 2023, nearly 18 million people, out of whom 6.7 million are internally displaced, are in need of humanitarian assistance.

The ability of local authorities and service providers to sustain a minimum level of services has also been severely hampered in war-affected areas. The forced displacement has placed an additional burden on local service providers in host and transit communities, including administrative services, healthcare, mental health, and social services and those concerned with ensuring access to justice. Providing assistance to sexual and gender-based violence survivors is a particular concern: rape has emerged as a weapon of war, and a toxic, hyper-masculine environment has led to a sharp increase in the incidence of conflict-related sexual violence, sexual exploitation and abuse and human trafficking. At the same time, domestic violence remains a persistent problem affecting women disproportionately.

To support the strengthened resilience and early recovery of war-affected communities, UN Women, jointly with UNDP and UNFPA, is implementing a joint EU-funded project “EU4Recovery – empowering communities in Ukraine”. The primary objectives of the joint project are as following:

Objective 1: Target communities have increased access to quality public services that respond to the needs of all population groups, with a particular focus on the most vulnerable

Objective 2: Community security is enhanced and the social fabric is maintained in project target areas.

In particular, UN Women will work on community-based prevention of violence against women and girls, including conflict-related violence, by supporting “attitudinal change” to encourage non-violent masculinities, challenge existing gender norms and raise awareness regarding the unacceptability of gender-based violence against women and girls, as well as on enhancing the access to justice of victims/survivors of gender-based violence by legally empowering them and strengthening the capacities of justice sector actors on preventing and combating violence against women and girls using a survivor-centered approach.

Towards this end, UN Women is seeking a Programme Analyst to provide programme support to the effective management of UN Women programmes in the Ukraine CO by contributing to the programme design, formulation, implementation and evaluation. Reporting to Project Coordinator, the Programme Analyst supports the delivery of UN Women programmes by analysing results achieved during implementation and supporting the appropriate application of systems and procedures. The Programme Analyst works closely with the programme and operations team, UN Women HQ staff, Government officials, multi and bilateral donors and civil society ensuring successful UN Women programme implementation under portfolio.
