Abidjan ( Ivory Coast )

Job Description

Overview

Background
The 1995 Beijing Platform for Action, adopted by 189 governments, is the world’s largest initiative for gender equality. It aims to enable every woman and girl to exercise her rights and freedoms. In 2020, despite progress, change remains slow for the majority of women and girls.

UN Women is leading the Generation Equality campaign to accelerate this progress. This campaign calls for equal pay, fair sharing of domestic work, an end to gender-based violence, adequate health services, and equal participation of women in politics. In March 2021, the Generation Equality Forum launched a five-year action plan, led by six issue-based coalitions, to achieve irreversible progress on gender equality and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

In Côte d’Ivoire, the campaign was launched on June 11, 2021, placing young people at the heart of the national mobilization for gender equality. A “Generation Equality” university caravan mobilized young people around Action Coalitions, with Gender Clubs as the main leaders.

The Program Analyst will contribute to the management of UN Women programs in Côte d’Ivoire, ensuring the design, implementation and evaluation of projects linked to the “Generation Equality” campaign.
