Job Description

The Position Background: 

UNFPA, the UN Sexual and Reproductive Health agency is working to actively make all spaces safe for women and girls, by combating gender-based violence wherever it occurs, including online. UNFPA is working with partners to address the rising trend of technology facilitated gender-based violence by raising awareness of the issue to empower survivors and to advocate for increased accountability and regulation to enhance safety and privacy online. 

The  Individual Consultant will work closely with the Communications Specialist at UNFPA KCO to carry out the tasks.

How you can make a difference:

UNFPA is the lead UN agency for delivering a world where every pregnancy is wanted, every childbirth is safe and every young person's potential is fulfilled.  UNFPA’s strategic plan (2022-2025), reaffirms the relevance of the current strategic direction of UNFPA and focuses on three transformative results: to end preventable maternal deaths; end unmet need for family planning; and end gender-based violence and harmful practices. These results capture our strategic commitments on accelerating progress towards realizing the ICPD and SDGs in the Decade of Action leading up to 2030. Our strategic plan calls upon UN Member States, organizations and individuals to “build forward better”, while addressing the negative impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic on women’s and girls’ access to sexual and reproductive health and reproductive rights, recover lost gains and realize our goals.

In a world where fundamental human rights are at risk, we need principled and ethical staff, who embody these international norms and standards, and who will defend them courageously and with full conviction.

UNFPA is seeking candidates that transform, inspire and deliver high impact and sustained results;
