ESARO is seeking a dynamic and talented individual to support the region on interventions in gender-based violence with special attention to humanitarian situations. If you believe you have the skills and experience for this role we would like you to submit your application. UNICEF works in over 190 countries and territories to save children’s lives, defend their rights, and help them fulfill their potential, from early childhood through adolescence. At UNICEF, we are committed, passionate, and proud of what we do. Promoting the rights of every child is not just a job – it is a calling. UNICEF is a place where careers are built: we offer our staff diverse opportunities for personal and professional development that will help them develop a fulfilling career while delivering on a rewarding mission. We pride ourselves on a culture that helps staff thrive, coupled with an attractive compensation and benefits package. Visit our website to learn more about what we do at UNICEF. For every child, protection. UNICEF is a leading humanitarian and development agency with global reach and long-standing experience and expertise in addressing gender-based violence in emergencies (GBViE). UNICEF is directly involved in GBViE in some of the world’s most complex humanitarian settings. Preventing and responding to GBViE is recognized as a life-saving measure and an essential component of humanitarian action. Addressing GBViE is a core element of UNICEF’s gender equality programming priorities and sectorial responsibilities in its Strategic Plan and Gender Action Plan (2022-2025). UNICEF’s response to GBViE is shaped by its humanitarian responsibilities and commitments set out in the Core Commitments for Children in Humanitarian Action (CCCs) [1], the IASC GBV Guidelines, the IASC GBV Minimum Standards and the Minimum Standards for Child Protection in Humanitarian Action. The East and Southern Africa Region (ESAR) has some of the highest rates of GBV globally and adolescent girls are among the most vulnerable. In humanitarian settings, the situation is even worse. Across the region, risks of GBV including sexual violence, exploitation and abuse and intimate partner violence (IPV) are becoming even more acute due to drought, widespread food insecurity and displacement. Female-headed households, adolescent girls, older women and those with disabilities face heightened threats. Adolescent girls are particularly vulnerable to sexual violence, exploitation, abuse with child marriage and female genital mutilation (FGM) on the rise as families adopt negative coping mechanisms for survival. As a lead agency in addressing GBViE and in line with Executive Director Fore’s high-level commitments on GBV at the 2019 Oslo Ending Sexual and Gender-Based Violence (EndSGBV) conference, UNICEF Eastern and Southern Africa Regional Office (ESARO) continues to expand specialized GBViE programming and work to reduce GBV risks across UNICEF-led clusters and sections. UNICEF is scaling up GBViE prevention, response and risk mitigation across ESAR to respond to growing needs in emergency settings including in Horn of Africa drought response, public health emergencies as well as ongoing conflicts and protracted crises. The purpose of this position is to continue strengthening UNICEF’s work on prevention, response and mitigation to GBViE. [1]Namely, CP Commitment 1 (Coordination): Effective leadership is established for both the child protection and GBVIE areas of responsibility, with links to other cluster/sector coordination mechanisms on critical inter-sectoral issues; and CP Commitment 5 (Programming): Violence, exploitation and abuse of children and women, including GBVIE, are prevented and addressed. How can you make a difference? The GBViE Specialist (P-4) will be responsible for providing high quality technical guidance on GBViE prevention, risk mitigation and response for the design, planning and expansion of programming across UNICEF programming in ESAR. Under the supervision of the ESARO Child Protection in Emergencies (CPiE) Specialist, the incumbent will provide oversight for quality assurance and coherence with UNICEF’s global level GBViE Operational Guidance and Resource Pack, as well as other global standards and guidelines and the UNICEF Strategic Plan and Gender Action Plan. S/he will ensure that the GBViE programming is aligned with the Core Commitments for Children. The GBViE Specialist will work directly with UNICEF GBViE Specialists, officers and focal points in the Child Protection team at the country offices and will work collaboratively with UNICEF Child Protection Specialists at the regional office and headquarters (HQ) as well as with other key relevant sectors including but not limited to emergency, gender, nutrition, SRHR, education and disability. S/he will coordinate closely with other UN agencies and non-governmental partners (NGO) that specialize in GBViE with a particular focus on women-led organisations. Major Duties and Responsibilities Provide strategic and technical support to UNICEF ESARO and COs to scale up efforts to address GBViE. Work with the UNICEF sectors, clusters and inter-agency partners to ensure GBV prevention, risk mitigation and response is adequately integrated across sectors and actions to reduce risks of GBV. Strengthen knowledge management and policy development on GBViE for ESARO and COs. Improve coordination of UNICEF GBViE interventions internally and at the inter-agency level.
