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.

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 leads and coordinates United Nations system efforts to ensure that commitments on gender equality and gender mainstreaming translate into action globally. It provides strong and coherent leadership in support of Member States’ priorities and efforts, building effective partnerships with civil society and other relevant actors. Through a set of tested approaches in situations of crisis, conflict, and disaster. This will contribute to Goal 4 of the UN Women’s Strategic Plan “peace and security and humanitarian action are shaped by women’s leadership and participation.”
The Humanitarian Crisis in Mozambique is becoming increasingly complex and protracted, with most displacements lasting multiple years. Pre-existing gender-based discrimination and inequalities exacerbate the impact of the crisis on women and girls and reduce their likelihood of receiving the humanitarian services they need to survive and recover. Inequality tends to worsen in the humanitarian contexts, leaving women that are already facing enormous challenges doubled with exacerbated inequality and fewer options. With support from the Korean International Development Agency (KOICA) UN Women and partners are working to strengthen the capacity of women and girls affected by disasters and conflict (internally displaced and host) to participate, lead and benefit from humanitarian interventions and socioeconomic opportunities in Northern Mozambique. In this regard, UN Women Mozambique will recruit a programme coordinator who will oversee the successful implementation of the project.
Under the overall guidance and direction of the Country Representative, the Programme Coordinator will work closely with the programme and operations team, Local Government, UN Agencies, and civil society organizations to ensure the technical direction and implementation of the project. He/she will ensure that the key outputs are achieved in a cost-effective and timely manner; the coordination and achievement of expected results includes coordinating relationships with national partners and stakeholders, monitoring and reporting, and managing the finances and personnel of the project.
Specifically, his/her functions will include but are not limited to the following:

Note:
In July 2010, the United Nations General Assembly created UN Women, the United Nations Entity for Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women. The creation of UN Women came about as part of the UN reform agenda, bringing together resources and mandates for greater impact. It merges and builds on the important work of four previously distinct parts of the UN system (DAW, OSAGI, INSTRAW and UNIFEM), which focused exclusively on gender equality and women’s empowerment.
At UN Women, we are committed to creating a diverse and inclusive environment of mutual respect. UN Women recruits, employs, trains, compensates, and promotes regardless of race, religion, color, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, ability, national origin, or any other basis covered by appropriate law. All employment is decided on the basis of qualifications, competence, integrity and organizational need.
If you need any reasonable accommodation to support your participation in the recruitment and selection process, please include this information in your application.
UN Women has a zero-tolerance policy on conduct that is incompatible with the aims and objectives of the United Nations and UN Women, including sexual exploitation and abuse, sexual harassment, abuse of authority and discrimination. All selected candidates will be expected to adhere to UN Women’s policies and procedures and the standards of conduct expected of UN Women personnel and will therefore undergo rigorous reference and background checks. (Background checks will include the verification of academic credential(s) and employment history. Selected candidates may be required to provide additional information to conduct a background check.
