Consultant: PSEA/GBV Victim Assistance Expert

Submitted by opal on

Protection from Sexual Exploitation and Abuse and Sexual Harassment (PSEAH) is a critical issue facing the UN System and aid partners and has increased in profile given the high level of commitment of the Secretary-General and the UNFPA Executive Director for UNFPA activities.

In collaboration with its UN system partners, UNFPA is implementing a PSEAH strategy across the organization through a range of coordinated actions to strengthen prevention and response, management and coordination. PSEAH activities involve many UNFPA business units and broad interaction with multiple external stakeholders.

Improving quality assistance to victims of sexual exploitation and abuse is a key priority for UNFPA and the UN system. Assistance to victims of sexual exploitation should - to the extent possible - be integrated into existing referral pathways for survivors of gender- based violence.
UNFPA has institutional experience in preventing and responding to gender-based violence and, as such, the expertise to provide and/or facilitate assistance also for victims of sexual exploitation and abuse.

UNFPA is currently seeking to engage the services of a short- term consultant to support its activities to improve quality assistance for victims of SEA.

The consultant will provide support with:

• Mapping of GBV referral pathways, to identify existing mechanisms, remaining gaps and possibilities for improvement.
• Perform other duties as required.

Required knowledge and experience:
• Advanced university degree in one of the following disciplines: Gender studies, social anthropology, law and women’s rights, sociology, cultural studies, public health, demography, socio-economics, or other related field.
• A minimum of three years, increasingly responsible, relevant professional experience
• Previous relevant experience in the UN context.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
• Fluency in English is required, working knowledge of other UN official languages desired

Duration/Travel:
Up to 60 days of work over the period from 1 April 2020 to 30 June 2020. If travel services are required, they will be procured directly by UNFPA according to the UNFPA applicable travel policy for consultants.

How to apply:
Please send curriculum vitae/resume including letter of motivation, with “PSEA/GBV Victim Assistance Expert” as the subject, to Eva Bolkart, bolkart@unfpa.org, by March 12 2020.
