UN Women Tanzania Jobs 2024Strengthening the Governments’ Capacity to Undertake Gender Responsive Planning and Budgeting
Location : Home-based, TANZANIA
Type of Contract : Individual Contract
UNDP is committed to achieving workforce diversity in terms of gender, nationality and culture. Individuals from minority groups, indigenous groups and persons with disabilities are equally encouraged to apply. All applications will be treated with the strictest confidence. UNDP does not tolerate sexual exploitation and abuse, any kind of harassment, including sexual harassment, and discrimination. All selected candidates will, therefore, undergo rigorous reference and background checks.
Background
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.
Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) indicator 5.c.1 measures Members States’ ability to track and make public allocation for gender equality and women’s empowerment (GEWE), linking the policy and legal requirements for gender equality with resource allocations for their implementation. Gender-responsive budgeting (GRB) enables governments to effectively address gender inequalities through policies, plans and budgets by integrating the needs and priorities of women and men, girls, and boys, including the most excluded.
The UN Women Tanzania Country Office (CO) recognizes GRB as a crucial tool for increasing and tracking financial commitments, accelerating progress towards GEWE and Leaving No One Behind (LNOB) commitments. Over the past eight years, UN Women has implemented GRB initiatives with national and subnational governments and civil society organizations (CSOs), yielding positive results.
UN Women has supported the establishment of a GRB Coordination mechanism within the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Community Development, Elderly, Women, and Children to promote GRB implementation across the Government. Additionally, capacity development for selected Ministries on Gender Responsive Planning and Budgeting has been provided.
UN Women has also supported the development of draft GRB guidelines for the Government Ministries of Finance, Gender and sector ministries. Following UN Women support to the Government on GRB, the EU has supported sectorial Ministries in the mainland to develop sectorial GRB targets, aligned with the recently launched Gender and Women Development Strategy (2023), and UN Women has participated and provided targeted technical advice. Recent engagement with and support to the government has identified the demand for simple guidelines, featuring ‘how to’ practical examples from countries that have adopted GRB in their Public Finance Management Systems.
UN Women seeks to engage an International consultant with expertise in GRB to refine existing draft GRB Guidelines to make the user-friendly and applicable. S/he will report to the Deputy country representative of UN Women and work closely with the Women’s Economic Empowerment Specialist.
