Nafasi za kazi  UNDP/UN Women- Co-ordination Analyst August 2020

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 Tanzania is implementing its Strategic Note (2017-2021), the successful achievement of which requires strategic support for programmatic level coordination on a number of key areas.

1.  The Women’s Leadership and Political Participation Project (Wanawake Wanaweza) Phase II promotes gender equality and the empowerment of women as per UN Women’s global mandate and supports the Government of Tanzania as a Member State to the United Nations to implement international standards, providing suitable technical and financial assistance. This second phase of the project aims to achieve the overarching goal/impact “Women lead and participate in decision-making at all levels”. The project comprises two essential coordination mechanisms: 1) The Steering Committee with representation of Development Partners, the National Gender Machinery and Responsible Parties, provides strategic direction to the project; 2) The Technical Committee is composed of Responsible parties with the aim of enhancing collaboration and synergies. Additionally, within the United National Development Assistance Programme (UNDAP), UN Women leads the Outcome Group on Women’s Leadership and Political Participation (WLPP OG) within the Thematic Results Group on Governance, Human Rights and Gender Equality. With the UN in the last year of UNDAP II implementation a key task for the WLPP OG will be to contribute to the development of a Country Gender Equality Profile (CGPE) and other strategic processes which will inform the next UN Sustainable Development Corporation Framework (UNSDCF).

2.   The UN Tanzania COVID-19 Coordination Framework was established early in the pandemic and includes three pillars: Public Health, Socio-Economic Impact and Leaving No One Behind (LNOB). Each pillar is co-led by two UN Agencies, with UN Women and UNFPA leading the LNOB pillar. The framework was designed to secure a comprehensive overview of all related activities within the UNDAP II structure, as well as coordinate short-term and longer-term response and recovery efforts. To date this has included drafting an Emergency Appeal and developing a Socio-Economic Response Framework (which is currently ongoing) and will continue with other upcoming strategic opportunities.

3.  On  behalf of the UN Country Team in Tanzania, UN Women chairs the Prevention of Sexual Exploitation and Abuse Network (PSEA Network).  The network coordinates UN Agency efforts to implement the Secretary-General’s Bulletin on Special Measures for Protection from Sexual Exploitation and Sexual Abuse (ST/SGB/2003/13).
