About UNFPA:
The United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), is an international development agency that works to deliver a world where every pregnancy is wanted, every child birth is safe and every young person’s potential is fulfilled. UNFPA works in the areas of reproductive health and rights, comprehensive sexuality education, empowering young people including intensive interventions for adolescent girls in tribal, rural and urban settings, with gender as a cross-cutting area. UNFPA collaborates with the government, civil society organisations, academic institutions and other UN agencies. UNFPA works at the policy and programme levels in collaboration with the various departments and supports implementation of programmes through implementing partners to reach out to vulnerable young people, especially adolescent girls.
Background:
Gender Based Violence (GBV) is one of the most pervasive human rights violations. It can take many forms- physical, sexual, emotional, and economic. It denies women the right to survival, well-being and development. GBV poses a key barrier to achieving the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 5 on gender equality, and also impedes progress on all the 17 SDGs. UNFPA’s 10th Country Programme in India (2023 – 2027) has a specific sub output - community based mechanisms and structures strengthened to implement strategies that transform regressive gender norms that justify and perpetuate gender GBV and harmful practices. A key intervention under the sub output is evidence-informed community mobilization interventions conducted through existing platforms such as Panchayat Raj Institutions/women's collectives in UNFPA focus states to challenge regressive social and gender norms and create an enabling and safe environment for women and girls.
To take this work forward, UNFPA proposes to strengthen the capacities of Panchayati Raj Institutions and other concerned stakeholders. With this project, UNFPA aims to enhance the value and well-being of women and girls by addressing discriminatory social norms at the local community level through the institutions of local self-governance - Panchayats.
As part of this intervention UNFPA is seeking applications from qualified candidates for the above mentioned post of ‘Project Coordinator’ to steer the various activities.
The Project Coordinator will be responsible for providing technical and program management support for planning, management, monitoring of interventions and multi sectoral convergence between related departments .
