Спеціаліст/ка для програми у Фонд Народонаселення ООН / Field Associate for UNFPA
ЗАВЕРШЕНО
The war in Ukraine which started on 24 February 2022 has caused civilian casualties and the destruction of vital infrastructure, forcing millions of people to flee their homes seeking safety, protection, and assistance. They are in urgent need of protection and support.
A considerable number of people — mostly elderly, women and children, and people with mobility problems — have remained in villages located very close to the frontline. Most of these people are stranded in areas where there is active fighting or which are subject to heavy daily shelling, and often have limited access to services and basic needs, relying mostly on what is being provided by the local authorities, humanitarian partners and volunteer groups.
GBV and SRH risks sharply increased due to military activities, massive displacement of population, and deteriorating security situation in a country where the prevalence of various forms of GBV was already high (the 2018 OSCE survey revealed two-thirds of women experiencing either sexual, physical, or psychological violence since the age of 15 years) before the war. With the growing number of reports and anecdotal evidence on conflict-related sexual violence, threats of trafficking for sex, sexual harassment, and other forms of violence, strengthening coordination for GBViE prevention and response was prioritized by the UNFPA, the lead agency in support of the GBV Sub-Cluster. While National UN Volunteer will promote all intervention of GBViE and SRH, supporting the development of comprehensive response in target cities will be the top priority.
Requirements for candidates:
- 3 years of experience in programme/project support preferably in emergency settings, advocacy, and/or other related fields;
- Experience of working in/with the area of social protection, and humanitarian response.
- Experience in GBV and in gender mainstreaming will be a strong asset;
- Experience in preparing workshops, seminars, training events, round tables and conferences;
- Experience in research assistance, in particular conducting desk reviews and preparing analytical notes, briefs, and presentations in visually compelling ways;
- Experience working on similar positions with international organizations/projects will be considered an advantage;
- Proficiency in MS Office package, teleconferencing tools;
