The Change Management Secretariat acts as a governance mechanism, working under the DED-M to ensure the substantive and operational coherence of the various change management initiatives and processes within UNFPA, coordinating and supporting change management processes such as: Aligning Headquarters/Regional Office/ Country Office Functions; The Comprehensive Resources Review; the Information and Communications Technologies transformation and the UN Reform. The CMS ensures consistency during a period of transition to continue improving UNFPA’s business model in light of the new Strategic Plan, the QCPR and various UN Reform initiatives.

The complexity /scale of the Change Management Agenda requires a best practice governance structure and a small dedicated team to support alignment processes, monitor further development and implementation of initiatives, guided by the Executive Committee and a Change Management Steering Committee accompanied by timely monitoring and reporting to senior management and other oversight UNFPA units as appropriate. Within this context, the Institutional Transformation Consultant will provide research, M&E and operational support to UNFPA initiatives related to change management facilitated by the Change Management Secretariat.

Protection from Sexual Exploitation and Abuse and Sexual Harassment (PSEAH) is a critical issue facing the UN System and aid partners and has increased in profile given the high level of commitment of the Secretary-General and the UNFPA Executive Director for UNFPA activities.

In collaboration with its UN system partners, UNFPA is implementing a PSEAH strategy across the organization through a range of coordinated actions to strengthen prevention and response, management and coordination. PSEAH activities involve many UNFPA business units and broad interaction with multiple external stakeholders.

Improving quality assistance to victims of sexual exploitation and abuse is a key priority for UNFPA and the UN system. Assistance to victims of sexual exploitation should - to the extent possible - be integrated into existing referral pathways for survivors of gender- based violence.
UNFPA has institutional experience in preventing and responding to gender-based violence and, as such, the expertise to provide and/or facilitate assistance also for victims of sexual exploitation and abuse.

UNFPA is currently seeking to engage the services of a short- term consultant to support its activities to improve quality assistance for victims of SEA.

The consultant will provide support with:

• Mapping of GBV referral pathways, to identify existing mechanisms, remaining gaps and possibilities for improvement.
• Perform other duties as required.

Required knowledge and experience:
• Advanced university degree in one of the following disciplines: Gender studies, social anthropology, law and women’s rights, sociology, cultural studies, public health, demography, socio-economics, or other related field.
• A minimum of three years, increasingly responsible, relevant professional experience
• Previous relevant experience in the UN context.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
• Fluency in English is required, working knowledge of other UN official languages desired

Duration/Travel:
Up to 60 days of work over the period from 1 April 2020 to 30 June 2020. If travel services are required, they will be procured directly by UNFPA according to the UNFPA applicable travel policy for consultants.

How to apply:
Please send curriculum vitae/resume including letter of motivation, with “PSEA/GBV Victim Assistance Expert” as the subject, to Eva Bolkart, bolkart@unfpa.org, by March 12 2020.

The GBViE Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) Analyst consultant supports the work of the Response and Technical Support Unit (RTSU) in all aspects relating to monitoring and evaluation of UNFPA GBViE programmes.

In its Phase III, the UNFPA-UNICEF Joint Programme on the Elimination of Female Genital Mutilation will strongly pursue an approach that will capitalize on ongoing continental, regional and sub-regional opportunities and initiatives to be able to ensure efforts are well articulated and coordinated across all levels. Linking the evidence base being generated at community and national level with political advocacy for sustainable change and commitment to eliminating Female Genital Mutilation at continental level will be given due attention and focus.

The African Union Commission (AUC) has an important role to play in intensifying and galvanizing the ongoing initiatives to eliminate the practice of Female Genital Mutilation at continental, regional and country levels. By the very fact that most of the Female Genital Mutilation high prevalence countries are within the region, AUC is a strategic political space and opportunity to positively influence the process at different levels.

Hence UNFPA is recruiting a consultant to be stationed within the Liaison Office and seconded to the African Union Commission to provide all the required support and technical assistance in effectively and timely delivering the African Union’s Saleema Initiative on Eliminating Female Genital Mutilation, with funding from the UNFPA-UNICEF Joint Programme on the Elimination of Female Genital Mutilation: Accelerating Change.
