This project is designed based on the fundamental objective to prevent insecurity and violence by harnessing the potentials of both women and men and addressing structural gender inequality and discriminatory gender norms that are the barriers to sustainable peace. While it will focus on empowering women to participate and lead in peacebuilding, conflict prevention and resolution, it also aims to enhance ownership and responsibility of the BARMM governments in promoting gender equality and inclusion in peace and security processes. In so doing, the project will support the implementation of RAP-WPS in BARMM with a particular focus on promoting the institutional capacity of BARMM government and institutions as well as engagement of civil society and women groups in peacebuilding, conflict prevention and resolution through concrete and measurable policy and programme interventions Period of assignment/services 40-person day Proposal should be submitted directly in the portal no later than indicated deadline.

Diversity, Equity and Inclusion are core principles at UNDP: we value diversity as an expression of the multiplicity of nations and cultures where we operate, we foster inclusion as a way of ensuring all personnel are empowered to contribute to our mission, and we ensure equity and fairness in all our actions. Taking a ‘leave no one behind’ approach to our diversity efforts means increasing representation of underserved populations. People who identify as belonging to marginalized or excluded populations are strongly encouraged to apply. Learn more about working at UNDP including our values and inspiring stories. UNDP is committed to achieving workforce diversity in terms of gender, nationality and culture. Women, individuals from minority groups, indigenous groups and persons with disabilities are equally encouraged to apply. All applications will be treated with the strictest confidence. UNDP does not tolerate sexual exploitation and abuse, any kind of harassment, including sexual harassment, and discrimination. All selected candidates will, therefore, undergo rigorous reference and background checks. |
