UNDP Programme Analyst, Data and Gender Statistics Jobs in Ethiopia

Background

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 Ethiopia Country Office (ECO) also plays these triple roles in coordination, operational and normative support where it promotes more effective coordination, coherence and gender mainstreaming across the United Nations Country and Humanitarian Team (UNCT and HCT) in support of gender equality and women’s empowerment (GEWE) commitments, supports the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia to translate global norms and standards into Ethiopian legislation, policies and development plans through programmatic interventions and works towards strengthening global norms and standards.

UN Women duly recognizes the implementation of these global, regional, and national human rights and development frameworks requires a robust coordination, monitoring and accountability mechanism that is supported by up to date, regular, comparable, and high-quality gender data, and statistics.

Thus, it implements a global Flagship programme on Making Every Woman and Girl Count (MEWGC) with national partners. The MEWGC programme has the overall goal of making gender statistics available, accessible, analyzed, and used to inform policy making, advocacy and accountability for delivering on gender equality and women’s empowerment commitments.
