UNDP is committed to achieving workforce diversity in terms of gender, nationality and culture. 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.

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. In Nigeria, UN Women’s work is guided by its three-pronged mandate: 1) Normative support to the Nigerian government, including Federal and State Ministries of Women Affairs, in championing initiatives and implementing policies, systems and practices that advance women’s rights; 2) Programmatic interventions across four priority areas: Women, Peace, Security and Humanitarian Action (WPSHA), Economic Empowerment and Resilience, Leadership and Political Participation, and Ending Violence Against Women; 3) Coordination of gender-focused networks and platforms within the UN system and development community to promote and advance gender equality in line with the development and humanitarian objectives.

UN Women coordinate gender equality and women empowerment within the United Nations and with external partners to ensure that different parts of the multilateral system act together in a coherent manner to deliver greater results and maximize the use of resources. Within the UN system, UN Women is mandated (A/RES/64/289) to lead more effective coordination, coherence, and gender mainstreaming. In its Strategic Note (2023–2027), UN Women affirms that its UN Coordination role continues to give the organization an extraordinary capacity to foster coordination and coherence within the UN system in support of improved accountability and outcomes for gender equality and women's empowerment. In all areas, UN Women will continue to drive accountability for the UN system's commitment to gender equality and women's empowerment. In delivering the coordination mandate,  UN Women will seek to enhance performance and responsibility for gender equality and enhance gender mainstreaming in the UN system during the SN 2023-207 implementation, with the aim to generate multiplier effects across all 17 SDGs. Therefore, it will deploy standardized tools including the UN System-Wide Action Plan on GEWE (UN-SWAP), UN SG’s System-wide strategy for Gender Parity Strategy, and the UNCT-SWAP Gender Equality Scorecard. As part of the coordination work, NCO will mobilize the UNCT to jointly enhance the sustainability and scalability of normative work, policy, and programs on gender equality and the empowerment of women in the process of implementing the UNSDCF.  The CO also continues to lead and coordinate the work of the UNCT Gender Thematic Group (GTG) and will support the capacity strengthening of the team to better promote the mainstreaming of gender in the UNSDCF 2023-2027. The GTG is currently chaired by UN Women, with UNFPA serving as co-chair, and has representation from 18 UN agencies.

UN Women also serves as the secretariat of the Development Partners Group on Gender (DPGG), and in that capacity, she supports the group to elaborate actions to support and collaborate with the government, especially the national gender machinery, and civil society to implement measures to advance gender equality and the empowerment of women. UN Women in 2023 commenced the Quarterly Zonal Coordination Mechanism Initiative in collaboration with the Federal and State Ministries of Women Affairs and the Maryam Babagida Centre for Women Development to better support the multiple networks, coalitions, and coordination mechanism that promote gender equality and the women to ensure that there is more coherence, capacity, and sustainability for the various work that they do. While several groups exist in the states, however, the level of coordination and accountability for gender equality and women’s empowerment remains limited and incoherent, as a result, accountability, and coherence in planning programme advocacy, and reporting on GEWE remain abysmal and less impactful.  The coordination mechanism will adopt a zonal convening and through it, activities map gaps and strengthen them to cascade to the states and local government coordination platforms as well as enhance the coordination outcomes at the national level
