UN Women, grounded in the vision of equality enshrined in the Charter of the United Nations, 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.
UN Women Sudan’s Strategic Note (SN) 2018-2023, aims “to consolidate efforts that contribute to gender equality and women’s empowerment in Sudan”. Key strategies for the implementation of the country programme include capacity building, advocacy, gender mainstreaming, evidence, information and data collection and the use of media to highlight and inform the general population of Sudan. The SN outlines the overall strategy and plan of action for the UN Women Sudan Country Office (CO) for the years 2018-2023 and includes an Integrated Results and Resources (IRRF) which combines the DRF and OEEF, with expected results and targets/ indicators/ baselines.
2023-2024 Annual Work Plan (AWP) of UN Women Sudan Country Office (Co) focuses on three mutually reinforcing priorities on enhancing women’s participation in climate resilient agriculture in rural, conflict, post-conflict and humanitarian contexts, strengthening their effective participation in Peace, Security and Humanitarian processes and strengthening women’s political participation and leadership as priority areas that UN Women will work on to contribute towards achieving gender equality and women’s empowerment in Sudan.
In the WPS domain, UN Women is working at macro, miso and micro level. At the macro level of peace processes, UN Women is supporting the women movement to hold accountable to gender equality and empowerment of women in the peace domain. At the miso level, UN Women supports the strengthening of institutional and technical capacity of women’s organizations and governments in relation to human rights and the rule of law, including transitional justice and the security sector. At the micro level, UN Women is working with women peace builders’ organizations at community level to strengthen the women led peace movement and develop a common agenda for peace through a bottom-up approach.
Reporting to the Country Representative, the WPS Specialist exercises overall responsibility for planning, implementing, and managing UN Women interventions under the WPS portfolio. She/he should work in close collaboration with the programme and operations team, UN Women regional office and HQ staff, Government officials, multi and bi-lateral donors and civil society ensuring successful UN Women programme implementation under the WPS.

Notes:
In July 2010, the United Nations General Assembly created UN Women, the United Nations Entity for Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women. The creation of UN Women came about as part of the UN reform agenda, bringing together resources and mandates for greater impact. It merges and builds on the important work of four previously distinct parts of the UN system (DAW, OSAGI, INSTRAW and UNIFEM), which focused exclusively on gender equality and women’s empowerment.
Diversity and inclusion:
At UN Women, we are committed to creating a diverse and inclusive environment of mutual respect.

If you need any reasonable accommodation to support your participation in the recruitment and selection process, please include this information in your application.
UN Women has a zero-tolerance policy on conduct that is incompatible with the aims and objectives of the United Nations and UN Women, including sexual exploitation and abuse, sexual harassment, abuse of authority and discrimination.
