الوصف الوظيفي

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, UN Women leads and coordinates United Nations system efforts to ensure that commitments on gender equality and gender mainstreaming translate into action throughout the world. It provides strong and coherent leadership in support of Member States’ priorities and efforts, building effective partnerships with civil society and other relevant actors.

UN Women plays an innovative and catalytic role in the State of Palestine since its inception in 1997. UN Women Palestine Office focuses its activities on one overarching goal, namely, to support the implementation at the national level of existing international commitments to advance gender equality in line with the national priorities. In support of this goal, and thoroughly taking into consideration the specificities of the Palestinian context, UN Women concentrates its efforts and interventions toward the realization of following strategic goals: Mainstreaming gender in governance, peace and security; Supporting women's economic security and rights; and Promoting women’s rights and protection against violence.

To achieve its results, UN Women promote a culture of management towards achieving development results. Monitoring, research and evaluation is an integral part of this management approach allowing UN Women to continuously track its progress towards achieving developmental results and to track its processes and commitments towards Palestinian women, its partners and donors. This culture of continually monitoring progress and processes, identifying relevant data, and evaluating its work ensures a culture of accountability and ensures a culture of learning and adapting the work to ensure achievement of intended results and the formulation of evidence-based workable programme and projects.
