UN WOMEN: PROGRAMME ANALYST, DONOR RELATIONS AND REPORTING
The 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. Placing women's rights at the center of all its efforts, the UN Women will lead and coordinate United Nations system efforts to ensure that commitments on gender equality and gender mainstreaming translate into action throughout the world. It will provide strong and coherent leadership in support of Member States' priorities and efforts, building effective partnerships with civil society and other relevant actors. At UN Women Headquarters (HQ), the Intergovernmental Support and Strategic Partnerships Bureau includes the Strategic Partnerships, Advocacy, Civil Society, Communications and Resource Mobilization Division (SPD). Within SPD and the Resource Mobilization (RM) section, the Donor Reporting (DR) unit continues to evolve and the unit is positioning itself to meet expected expanded obligations to donors in 2012 and beyond. The system of donor reporting needs careful and sustained support from SPD, in concert with operational and geographic units, including an internal/electronic system for systematically capturing data that allows UN Women to monitor compliance and achievement of obligations to donors as stipulated under the various agreements and commitments. As part of this positioning the unit continues to refine and expand several functions and roles, as active cost-sharing projects continue to increase dramatically (from 700 in 2009, to 1300 in 2010, up to 1800 in the third quarter of 2011). As each project represents a relationship with and obligations to the donor, additional expertise to ensure smooth coordination will be sought and it is essential to have in place a team that is experienced, professional, and has strong and sustainable relationships as UN Women responds to UN reform efforts, the world financial situation and trends in aid effectiveness and development assistance. Under the overall guidance and supervision of the Donor Relations and Reporting Manager and in close collaboration with the Donor Relations and Reporting Coordinator and the Donor Reporting team, the incumbent will provide support for the implementation of UN Women's resource mobilization initiatives, advocacy, donor relations and dissemination of information utilizing multimedia tools. These areas align with the annual work plan for the unit and section, and support four key results areas of the current UN Women Strategic Plan in terms of management: 1) To drive more effective and efficient United Nations system coordination and strategic partnerships, as well as to play a knowledge hub role on gender equality and women's empowerment; 2) To develop a strong learning culture founded on results-based management, reporting, knowledge management and evaluation; 3) To enhance organizational effectiveness with robust capacity at country, regional and corporate levels; 4) To mobilize and leverage significantly greater resources for gender equality and women's empowerment.
