Recognizing that gender equality is a precondition and accelerator for achieving the SDGs, UNDP is committed to promoting and mainstreaming gender equality and women’s empowerment in all its activities. UNDP’s approach to gender mainstreaming is a dual one: UNDP supports the empowerment of women and girls through gender-specific targeted interventions and also addresses gender concerns in developing, planning, implementing, and evaluating all policies and programmes.
The principles, priorities, results, and financing of UNDP’s programmes and projects are in full alignment with the United Nations Transitional Cooperation Framework (TCF) (2024-2025) for Myanmar. UNDP also accords with the UN Secretary General’s reform agenda aimed at greater internal UN coherence, integration, and synergy. It represents a powerful model of working in a protracted crisis to build resilience amongst the most vulnerable communities. UNDP’s gender empowerment and women’s empowerment interventions also aligns with the UNDP Strategic Plan and UNDP Signature Solutions. It also represents UNDP’s commitment in Myanmar to the principle of leaving no one behind.
The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) has developed a 10-Point Action Agenda for Advancing Gender Equality in Crisis Settings (10PAA), a roadmap to guide its development programming towards results that will help transform and advance gender equality in crisis contexts and achieve the Women, Peace, and Security agenda. It is grounded in the understanding that deep-rooted, intersectional discrimination sits at the heart of the multiple challenges humanity faces and reinforces models of dominance that exclude and leave women behind, especially in crisis settings.
Myanmar as a country with multifaceted challenges has seen an increase in gender-based violence and gender inequality. To this end UNDP Myanmar seeks the services of a Gender officer to work across the projects to develop, implement, monitor, and evaluate the following activities:
