To support member states in implementing the 2030 Agenda, UN Women’s Flagship Programme Initiative, “Making Every Woman and Girl Count (MEWG)” aims to affect a radical shift in the availability, accessibility and use of data and statistics on key aspects of gender equality and women’s empowerment. These surveys utilize methodology recently developed by UN Women under the Making Every Woman and Girl Count programme. In this regard, the programme is supporting the roll out of gender and environment/resilience surveys in countries in the Pacific. It also supports evidence-based decision making to ensure policy responses to the COVID-19 crisis are gender-responsive.

The programme supports countries to generate gender data to measure the impact of the crisis and the resilience of women and men in the Pacific and South-East Asia. To support member states in coping with, and recovering from, the COVID-19 crisis through evidence-based decision-making, UN Women’s Regional Office for Asia and the Pacific is implementing the programme “Building Back Better: Promoting a gender data-driven response to the COVID-19 pandemic in the Pacific and South-East Asia”, with the generous support from the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade. The purpose of this consultancy is to support the implementation of the Building Back Better programme, as well as the Making Every Woman and Girl Count programme in Asia and the Pacific by, in particular, supporting the implementation of gender-environment surveys in Tonga and Samoa, by adjusting CAPI scripts to national specificities (in survey solutions or CSPro, as preferred by each country), monitoring data collection through monitoring reports as needed, providing technical support on CAPI to national counterparts and supporting the data management and cleaning of the data once collected. 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. All selected candidates will, therefore, undergo rigorous reference and background checks. UNDP does not tolerate sexual exploitation and abuse, any kind of harassment, including sexual harassment, and discrimination. All applications will be treated with the strictest confidence.

Individuals from minority groups, indigenous groups and persons with disabilities are equally encouraged to apply. UNDP is committed to achieving workforce diversity in terms of gender, nationality and culture.
