Expected Duration of Assignment : Seven (7) months
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 2021, UN Women, in collaboration with the Governments of France and Mexico, convened the Generation Equality Forum, a global multistakeholder partnership to drive results and accelerate the full and effective implementation of the Beijing Platform for Action and the Sustainable Development Goals through a 5-year (2021-2026) action agenda encapsulated in a Global Acceleration Plan for six Action Coalitions.
The United Republic of Tanzania (URT) adopted the Action Coalition on Economic Justice and Rights as a vehicle towards the realization of gender equality and the empowerment of women and girls, with increased measures including investments in gender-responsive public and private quality care services, and supporting women and young women access to productive resources, engagement in decent work as well as design and implementation of gender-responsive macro-economic plans, budget reforms, and stimulus packages.
To localize Generation Equality at the country level, the Government of the United Republic of Tanzania has developed the Tanzania Generation Equality Programme TGEP (2021/22-2025/26) stipulating various interventions to be undertaken by the Government sectorial ministries, private sector and other stakeholders to deliver on the GEF to advance women’s economic justice and rights. One key institutional mechanism to achieve this goal is the National Advisory Committee (NAC) consisting of twenty-five senior officials who work closely with the country’s gender machinery in both Tanzania mainland and Zanzibar, in championing the implementation of Tanzania’s commitments.
In line with this, UN Women Tanzania is seeking to hire a consultant to support the National Advisory Committee Secretariat in strengthening GEF Localization and Multistakeholder Engagement in Advancing Generation Equality Commitments. The consultant will work closely with and be led by the secretariat and UN Women. This consultancy will be for nine months, during which the elaborated deliverables will be achieved.
The consultant will be reporting to the Communications Specialist of UN Women as well as the chairperson of the Generation Equality National Advisory Committee.
Duties and Responsibilities
1. Technical advice to provide support to the ministries responsible for Gender in Mainland and Zanzibar on the 2023 GEF accountability reporting process and capturing stories from the field.
2. Provide technical support to the National Advisory Committee on monitoring and documentation of at least two advisory notes to GEF implementing sectors.
3. Act as a technical assistant to the Chairperson of the National Advisory and Coordinating Committee on Generation Equality Forum.
4. Provide technical leadership on awareness-raising to promote linkages of local-level implementations of GEF commitments by the LGAs, private sector, youth networks and CSOs.
