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.Gender inequality in Papua New Guinea is severe, with the country ranked 169 out of 170 globally. Women and girls face high rates of gender-based violence (GBV) and low literacy levels. The DHS 2016-2018 indicates that 54% of women have experienced GBV in the past year, and nearly 23% of women aged 15-49 have no formal education.  Structural barriers, cultural norms, and weak protection systems worsen the situation. Tribal conflicts, sorcery accusation-related violence (SARV), and small arms proliferation, especially in the Highlands, increase violence. Despite policies to reduce discrimination, comprehensive strategies are urgently needed to address these issues and achieve gender equality. Additionally, ongoing conflicts have displaced communities, further exacerbating GBV incidents. The persistence of these challenges highlights the critical need for targeted interventions to promote social stability and human rights and achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly 05 on gender equality, 10 Reduce Inequality and 16 Peace, Justice & Strong Institutions.Building on the gains of the EU-UN Spotlight Initiative to Eliminate Violence Against Women and Girls (VAWG) in Papua New Guinea (PNG), UN Women, UNFPA and UNOPS (Agencies) are starting a joint initiative entitled "Soim Wokabout: Gender-Based Violence Referral Pathways Programme", financed under the Neighbourhood, Development and International Cooperation Instrument (NDICI Global Europe).  The joint programme aims to reduce the incidence of GBV in communities in target provinces, including in and out of schools (Eastern Highlands and the National Capital District).  This will capitalize on existing programmes addressing specific forms of Gender Based Violence (GBV) and Sexual and Reproductive Health Rights (SRHRs) while supporting prevention and protection efforts for GBV survivors, strengthening access to justice, and ending violence against women and girls at national, provincial, district, and community levels.  It seeks to scale up effective integrated approaches to deliver quality coordinated services, strengthen referral pathways, mobilize communities and networks to address harmful gender and social norms fueling GBV and SARV and promote implementation of laws and policies to reduce GBV and SARV while mobilizing national, provincial and community leadership on the programme's investments to enhance sustainability.  The joint programme's specific objectives are: 1. To increase access of women, men, girls and boys in all their diversity, experiencing gender-based violence, to essential quality services, protection and justice. 2. To improve advocacy and agency of civil society organisations, women's rights organisations, social movements and communities to end gender-based violence (GBV).  3. To make more effective the engagement of community leaders, male advocates and influential groups and actors in society in changing discriminatory social norms, gender stereotypes, GBV and harmful practices.Reporting to UN Women Deputy Country Representative, the Programme Technical Coordinator (PTC) provides technical guidance and exercises overall responsibility for planning, implementing, coordinating and reporting on the entire Soim Wokabout joint programme.

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.One of the key areas of concern is the economic empowerment of women. It is expressed in targets and indicators of SDG 5 (Achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls) and SDG 8 (Promote inclusive and sustainable development, decent work and employment for all). Progress toward it depends not only on the adoption of a set of public policies by governments, but also on the existence of an enabling environment and active engagement of the corporate sector. This is also relevant to the achievement of SDG 1 (Poverty Reduction), SDG 10 (Reduced inequalities) and SDG 17 (Revitalize the global partnership for sustainable development).Women's economic empowerment in the Asia-Pacific comprises a diverse and complex portfolio, including different thematic focus areas from social protection and unpaid care to SME private sector development and very different country specific contexts from the Pacific (highly informal working with predominantly low-income women) to China (middle-income country with a strong and growing private sector and limited bilateral funding). WEE has become increasingly of relevance in the region, particularly in the wake of the pandemic and economic recovery of post-crisis countries. Responding to the diverse contexts, the UN Women Regional Office for Asia and the Pacific WEE & Migration Unit has been developing an overall strategic WEE & Migration approach that is strongly linked to the UN Women global Economic Empowerment Strategy,  focuses on the key strategic priorities aligned with the SN ROAP Women's Economic Empowerment & Migration for 2023-2025 and reflecting UN Women's Global Gender Equality Accelerators (GEAs), namely Women in the World of Work, Transforming Care and Climate Action:1.    Advancing Gender-Responsive Business Conduct and Creating More Decent Work Opportunities (WEPs)2.    Accelerating Gender-Responsive Entrepreneurship for (M)SMEs (i.e. Gender-Responsive Procurement & strengthening women's entrepreneurship) 3.    Progressing Safe Migration to Decent Employment4.    Transforming the Care EconomyThese thematic areas are not operating in isolation and are strongly inter-connected and under-pinned by cross-cutting principles, such as: sector-agnostic work (across the Green & Blue -, care, fintech and digital economy); embracing an intersectional and conscious social norms lens into programming, and nexus to thematic areas such as Climate Change among others.Transforming care requires both action and investment. UN Women's Transform Care Investment Initiative Asia-Pacific (TCII-AP) calls for catalytic investments to benefit at least 100 million women and girls, create 125 million new employment opportunities in the care economy by 2035, and reduce women's unpaid care work by at least two billion hours. UN Women's TRANSFORMCARE INVESTMENT INITIATIVE ASIA-PACIFIC (TCII-AP) will be able to leverage numerous existing networks, commitments, examples and tools created across the region in partnership with governments, UN agencies and other partners.Reporting to the Regional Programme Manager and Technical Advisor - Regional Women's Economic Empowerment in Asia (P4), the Programme Specialist exercises overall responsibility for planning, implementing, and managing UN Women interventions under their portfolio.  The Programme Specialist works in close collaboration with the programme and operations team, UN Women HQ staff, Government officials, multi and bi-lateral donors and civil society ensuring successful UN Women programme implementation under portfolio.

Due to its geographical location, the country is subject to climatic hazards linked to a hostile environmental context and prolonged periods of droughts resulting in a situation of chronic food insecurity. Furthermore, gender disparities in Niger persist across various dimensions.
