In line with UNFPA’s strategic plan (2018-2021) and humanitarian commitments, the Asia Pacific Regional Office (APRO) works closely with country offices and partners to improve efforts on addressing sexual and reproductive health (SRH), gender and gender based violence (GBV) within emergency preparedness, response and recovery.
Due to the frequency and severity of humanitarian emergencies in the region, from cyclical natural disasters affecting several countries in the region on an annual basis to protracted conflicts and fragile contexts, APRO intends to recruit an on-call Gender Based Violence in Emergencies (GBViE) expert to provide technical support to COs in addressing Gender-based Violence prevention and response measures in emergency preparedness and response efforts. The GBViE consultant, to be recruited through a retainer contract, will be available to support the APRO Gender and Humanitarian Team remotely, and through deployment (when/if needed) for the duration of their contract.
CLOSING DATE: Friday, 08 February 2019, at 15.00 hours, Bangkok time
