We help countries to develop policies, leadership skills, partnering abilities, institutional capabilities, and to build resilience to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals. Our work is concentrated in three focus areas; sustainable development, democratic governance and peace building, and climate and disaster resilience. gender equality and women’s empowerment is central to our work.

Context

The Gender Team has the leading role in the implementation of the Gender Equality Strategy 2022-2025. A key pillar of this work is the UNDP Gender Equality Seal for Public Institutions, one of UNDP’s pioneering flagships, helping create a new generation of public policies, institutions, and policymakers to diminish discriminatory norms, enhancing public institutions skills and capacities for delivering gender responsive public policies. It is a global voluntary awarding program, specifically designed for public institutions, that aims to support, recognize and champion public institutions that commit to and improve on advancing gender equality and women’s empowerment. UNDP Gender Equality Seal for Public Institutions seeks the help of a professional editor UNV to provide high-quality editing services for its Success Stories Catalogue, which documents the successes and good practices from public institutions taking part in the Seal.

Task Description

The UNV will perform the following tasks: 1) Edit approx 60 page document – including photos, charts and graphs, as needed – for the Catalogue of Success Stories on the Gender Equality Seal for Public Institutions. 2) After the draft text is reviewed by the team, the UNV will support us to incorporate revisions related to content and/or language.
