Overview : UNDP seeks to engage the services of a consultant to support the Gender Equality Seal initiative during 2018, adapting the Seal to the new context of UNDP’s Strategic Plan and Gender Equality Strategy; and launching the next Gender Equality Seal Certification Round: The Gender Team is at the forefront of UNDP's commitment to gender equality and women's empowerment. The Gender Team is part of the Bureau for Policy and Programme Support (BPPS) which provides policy advice and technical support to all of UNDP’s operations. The Gender Team works to implement gender equality as a core objective of UNDP through a two-pronged approach (i) mainstreaming gender in all core practices; and, (ii) dedicated interventions that empower women and promote gender equality. The Gender Equality Seal is a corporate quality assurance mechanism that measures and certifies the achievements and competence of Country Offices in advancing women's rights and gender equality. The Gender Equality Seal has three levels of certification (Gold, Silver, and Bronze) and Country Offices are awarded a certain level of certification according to their gender equality accomplishments. The gender equality seal strengthens accountability for gender equality results in the organization. The consultant will work under the direct supervision of the Senior Policy Advisor on Gender Mainstreaming of the UNDP Gender Team in New York. Proposals must be received no later than 11:59 PM US Eastern Time on Tuesday 24 April 2018. Please visit https://jobs.undp.org/cj_view_job.cfm?cur_job_id=78185 for more information and how to apply. |
