The Catalytic Leadership Investment Job Title: Technical Coordinator on Gender and Human Rights

Contract type: Individual consultancy...

Closing date: 29 March 2023

Duty Station: New York based

Purpose of consultancy:

The Catalytic Leadership Investment (CLI) grant by the Gates Foundation is a path to bolstering UNFPA’s technical leadership in Family Planning (FP) and Maternal and Newborn Health (MNH) at the global, regional, and country levels. The Catalytic Leadership Investment is envisioned to:
• Improve UNFPA's FP and MNH technical and programmatic execution aligned with UNFPA Strategic Plan’s transformative results
• Enhance technical leadership in sustainably scaling up FP High-Impact Practices (HIPs) e.g. postpartum family planning, post abortion family planning and other proven FP practices
• Advance the role for midwifery with focus on women-centric, integrated FP and MNH services
• Drive higher quality MNH service provision through GIS mapping of Emergency Obstetric and Newborn care (EmONC) to plan and redesign service delivery
• Strengthen coordination on EPMM and ENAP, including measurement and accountability
• Advance FP-MNH integration throughout UNFPA platform and global voice
• Optimize UNFPA Technical Division to drive on the integration of FP-MNH best practices and proven interventions
• Strengthen UNFPA’s ability to coordinate with GFF and World Bank, WHO and UNICEF on advancing family planning, SRMNH, Midwifery, and Women and Adolescents’ Health with clear accountability for UNFPA’s technical role

The main purpose (Primary Outcome) of the CLI grant is to increase UNFPA’s capacity and influence as a gender transformative human rights-based Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights including family planning (FP) and maternal newborn health (MNH) thought leader and technical resource. By providing high-quality technical assistance, convening power and cutting-edge tools and platforms, UNFPA will further position itself as a credible, innovative and trusted SRHR thought leader, leveraging its gender transformative and human rights-based approach, strong relationships and large programmatic footprint to drive measurable and sustainable impact. UNFPA’s global technical leadership will be driven by evidence of what works, and will focus on reducing unmet need and expanding access to family planning through high impact and proven practices. It will also aim to contribute to reducing preventable maternal deaths and improving MNH outcomes through professionalizing midwifery, improving coordination and expanding access to high-quality EmONC in all settings including emergency contexts where 60% of all maternal deaths occur.

This primary outcome of the CLI grant will be achieved through three intermediate outcomes:
• (Intermediate Outcome 1) Strengthened gender transformative human rights-based SRHR thought leadership, technical coordination, and capacity across UNFPA (Headquarters TD-Regional Offices-Country Offices (HQ/TD-ROs-COs));
• (Intermediate Outcome 2) Strengthened gender transformative human rights-based FP policy and programmatic thought leadership and technical capacity across UNFPA (HQ/TD-ROs-COs), and
• (Intermediate Outcome 3) Strengthened gender transformative human rights-based MNH, and particularly midwifery and EmONC, through leadership and technical capacity across UNFPA (HQ/TD-ROs-COs).

In order to ensure seamless implementation of this grant, a consultant is needed to enhance TD’s internal technical coordination, coherence, integration, and cross-thematic collaboration, ensuring the gender component is mainstreamed across outputs. In addition to having solid knowledge and experience on management and technical coordination competencies, this individual will also have background and expertise in human rights and gender programming, and will provide key support for delivering on the key interventions defined for the project outputs.

During the term of this consultancy, incumbent will be expected to perform the following activities:

The Consultant will coordinate and support the TD CLI Grant project to ensure gender equality and human rights issues are integrated across the project’s main objectives and interventions areas.

• *How you can make a difference:**

UNFPA is the lead UN agency for delivering a world where every pregnancy is wanted, every childbirth is safe and every young person's potential is fulfilled. UNFPA’s strategic plan (2022-2025), reaffirms the relevance of the current strategic direction of UNFPA and focuses on three transformative results: to end preventable maternal deaths; end unmet need for family planning; and end gender-based violence and harmful practices. These results capture our strategic commitments on accelerating progress towards realizing the ICPD and SDGs in the Decade of Action leading up to 2030. Our strategic plan calls upon UN Member States, organizations and individuals to “build forward better”, while addressing the negative impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic on women’s and girls’ access to sexual and reproductive health and reproductive rights, recover lost gains and realize our goals.

In a world where fundamental human rights are at risk, we need principled and ethical staff, who embody these international norms and standards, and who will defend them courageously and with full conviction.

UNFPA is seeking candidates that transform, inspire and deliver high impact and sustained results; we need staff who are transparent, exceptional in how they manage the resources entrusted to them and who commit to deliver excellence in programme results.
