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
Grounded in the vision of
equality enshrined in the Charter of the United Nations, the United
Nations Entity for Gender Equality, and the Empowerment of Women (UN
Women) 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. Through its
programmes and projects, UN Women provides technical assistance to
national partners in the implementation of existing international and
national commitments to women’s human rights and gender equality,
facilitates the exchange of good practices, and advocates for women’s
rights and gender equality in all areas of life.

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. Generation Equality Forum is fully embedded in UN
Women’s Strategic Plan and aims to accelerate the achievement of results
contained therein. Generation Equality Forum is also recognized by the
Secretary-General’s “Common Agenda” as an important initiative to
support UN system wide frameworks to take stock of and build on
international commitments to gender equality and the empowerment of all
women and girls.

The 2021 Generation Equality Forum was catalytic
in unlocking commitments to accelerate the achievement of gender
equality, including multiple robust policy, programme, financial and
advocacy commitments. The United Republic of Tanzania (U.R.T) is among
the participating states that adopted the thematic area on Economic
Justice and Rights as a vehicle towards the realization of gender
equality and the empowerment of women and girls. A National Advisory
Committee was established in 2021 in the United Republic of Tanzania to
work closely with the gender machinery to champion the implementation
of the Tanzania’s commitments and to increase investments in the
creation of decent care jobs; expand decent work; broaden women’s access
to and control over land and other productive resources; and develop
and implement economic plans, budget reforms and stimulus packages to
reduce the number of women and girls living in poverty by the year 2026.

Tanzania
recently joined seven other UN Member States in the Generation Equality
Multi-Stakeholder Leadership Group, established to help deliver on the
Generation Equality Forum agenda. In October 2022, Tanzania President
was invited to cohost the Mid-Point Summit of the Generation Equality
Forum to be held on the side-lines of the UN General Assembly in
September 2023. The announcement follows Tanzania’s commitment as one of
the leaders of the global Generation Equality Forum Action Coalition on
Economic Justice and Rights in 2021, and several key achievements in
the country in pushing forward women’s economic rights and empowerment
in the last year.

It is in this context that UN Women is seeking
the services of a Senior GEF Coordination Consultant to support the URT
in its role as co-host of the GEF mid-point and several other
meetings/tasks leading up to the GEF Summit in 2023.
