Organization Mission

UN Women is the United Nations entity dedicated to gender equality and the empowerment of women. A global champion for women and girls, UN Women was established to accelerate progress on meeting their needs worldwide.

UN Women supports UN Member States as they set global standards for achieving gender equality, and works with governments and civil society to design laws, policies, programmes and services needed to ensure that the standards are effectively implemented and truly benefit women and girls worldwide.

Context

UN Women Uganda supports national partners to advance gender equality and women’s empowerment through targeted interventions across four key thematic areas:

 Ending Violence Against Women (EVAW) – advancing prevention and response to gender-based violence;
 Governance and Women’s Leadership (GWL) – promoting women’s participation and leadership in decision-making spaces;
 Women’s Economic Empowerment (WEE) – enhancing women’s access to livelihoods, resources, and economic opportunities; and
 Women, Peace and Security, Humanitarian Action, and Disaster Risk Reduction (WPS-HADR) – supporting women’s participation in peacebuilding, resilience, and crisis response.

To strengthen visibility and communication of its results, UN Women Uganda seeks a Video Editor and Visual Designer to support the creation of compelling, branded multimedia content that documents achievements, lessons learned, and impact stories from its ongoing programmes.
