The Position:

Under the supervision of the Gender/GBV National Programme Officer, the GBV Nexus Coordinator is primarily responsible for the development, management, and monitoring of UNFPA Gender in Humanitarian Action (GiHA) and Gender-based Violence in Emergencies (GBVIE) interventions along the Humanitarian - Peacebuilding - Development spectrum. The post will coordinate and advance GBVIE programming across the humanitarian spectrum of preparedness, response, and recovery, including anticipatory action.

How you can make a difference:

UNFPA is the United Nations sexual and reproductive health agency. Our mission is to deliver a world where every pregnancy is wanted, every childbirth is safe, and young people's potential is fulfilled. In 2019 UNFPA marks its 50th anniversary. Since the International Conference on Population and Development in 1994, UNFPA has been assisting countries with implementing the ICPD Programme of Action to put sexual and reproductive health, rights, and population dynamism as the foundation of sustainable development. UNFPA globally is promoting commitments to achieving three transformational goals by 2030 - ending preventable maternal deaths, ending unmet need for family planning, and ending gender-based violence and other harmful practices against women and girls, including child marriage.

In the Philippines, UNFPA has started its new five-year 8th Country Programme 2019-2023. The 8CP is tightly aligned with the mid-and long-term development goals of the Philippines, as detailed in the Philippine Development Plan 2017-2022 and Ambisyon Natin 2040, as well as the global Agenda 2030, including the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

In a world where fundamental human rights are at risk, we need principled and ethical staff who embody these international norms and standards and will defend them courageously and with full conviction.
