UNDP does not tolerate sexual exploitation and abuse, any kind of harassment, including sexual harassment, and discrimination.

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.

The East and Southern Africa region (ESAR) experiences multiple humanitarian crises including drought leading to food insecurity, cyclones, floods and conflict. In 2022 & 2023, the region particularly the Horn of Africa faced one of the worst droughts after five consecutive failed rain seasons rendering over 33 million people in need of humanitarian assistance. In the Southern Africa region, a number of countries are increasingly experiencing cyclones whose magnitude and intensity continues to increase, while protracted and recent conflict is displacing millions of people both internally and externally. All these disasters have continued to deepen gender inequality including loss of livelihoods and to weaken protection particularly for the most vulnerable groups including women and girls.

To address some of these challenges UN Women ESAR is implementing strategies and programmes that seeks to strengthen and support gender responsive humanitarian interventions and inclusive resilience building across the region. To achieve this, UN Women is seeking to hire a Programme Analyst Humanitarian and DRR.
