Context:Yemen remains one of the world's largest humanitarian crises. In 2023, a staggering 21.6 million people require some form of humanitarian assistance as 80 percent of the country struggles to put food on the table and access basic services. Eight years of conflict, compounded by economic collapse, natural disasters and the COVID-19 pandemic, have taken an inordinate toll on women and girls. The health system has virtually collapsed cutting their access to life-saving sexual and reproductive health services. Today a woman dies during pregnancy and childbirth every two hours from causes which are almost entirely preventable with access to services. In 2023, more than 1.5 million pregnant and breastfeeding women are projected to suffer acute malnutrition – with risks of negative birth outcomes and malnourished infants.Violence against women and girls, already high before the conflict, has worsened, with displaced women and girls, female-headed households and those with disabilities particularly at risk. Girls are increasingly vulnerable to early, forced and child marriage, Female Genital Mutilations, human trafficking and child labour. As needs soar, protection systems are at best overstretched or entirely absent.UNFPA's priority is to ensure that all Yemeni women and girls can access services that are vital to their health, well-being and lives. How you can make a difference:UNFPA is the lead UN agency for delivering a world where every pregnancy is wanted, every childbirth is safe and every young person's potential is fulfilled.  UNFPA's strategic plan (2022-2025), reaffirms the relevance of the current strategic direction of UNFPA and focuses on three transformative results: to end preventable maternal deaths; end unmet need for family planning; and end gender-based violence and harmful practices.

The Position:The Programme Coordinator will be based in Bahir Dar, Amhara Ethiopia, with frequent travels to project sites in Tigray, Oromia, Afar, and Benasgangul-Gumuz. The incumbent reports to the Humanitarian Coordinator in Addis Ababa with close liaison with other GBV and SRH Specialists based in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. How the Programme Coordinator can make a difference:UNFPA is the lead UN agency for delivering a world where every pregnancy is wanted, every childbirth is safe and every young person's potential is fulfilled. UNFPA's strategic plan (2022-2025), reaffirms the relevance of the current strategic direction of UNFPA and focuses on three transformative results: to end preventable maternal deaths; end unmet need for family planning; and end gender-based violence and harmful practices. These results capture our strategic commitments on accelerating progress towards realizing the ICPD and SDGs in the Decade of Action leading up to 2030. Our strategic plan calls upon UN Member States, organizations, and individuals to "build forward better", while addressing the negative impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic on women's and girls' access to sexual and reproductive health and reproductive rights, recover lost gains and realize our goals.In a world where fundamental human rights are at risk, we need principled and ethical staff, who embody these international norms and standards, and who will defend them courageously and with full conviction.UNFPA is seeking candidates that transform, inspire and deliver high impact and sustained results; we need staff who are transparent, exceptional in how they manage the resources entrusted to them and who commit to deliver excellence in programme results. Job Purpose:The conflict in Northern Ethiopia broke out on 4 November 2020. It led to major movements of populations, and internal displacement of millions, some of whom are still living in camps, and among host communities in urban locations. As a result of the conflict, 5.2 million people are in need of urgent humanitarian assistance, 2.1 million of whom were identified as internally displaced persons in Tigray region, alone. Furthermore, spillover of the conflict into neighboring Amhara and Afar regions, in July 2021, displaced further, 1.2 million in Amhara, and 700,000 individuals in Afar Regions respectively. 52 percent of whom are women and girls.Additionally, Northern Ethiopia suffers from the impact of frequent and extreme weather events (droughts and floods), affecting people's access to food, crops, pasture, livestock production, and market functionality. Hundreds of thousands of people are displaced each year due to floods, and on average approximately 3 million vulnerable people in Ethiopia experienced crisis level of food insecurity due to poor rains and drought conditions in the last few years. The trend of displacement has increased over the last five years from the 3.2 million internally displaced persons (IDPs) recorded in 2018 to 5.2 million at the end of 2021 (according to DTM data of November 2021). Driven by conflict, population displacement, restricted movement/access, and economic collapse, 4 million people in Tigray, 1 million in Amhara, and 450,000 in Afar have fallen into Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) phase 3+ (Worse). Further IPC1 analysis for May and June 2021, concludes that 350,000 people are in IPC phase 5 (catastrophe) in the conflict regions of Tigray, Amhara and Afar.The northern crisis is thus the result of conflict, population displacements movement restrictions, limited humanitarian access, climate change, loss of harvest and livelihood assets, and dysfunctional or nonexistent markets.The Programme Coordinator (PC) provides overall leadership and management of the project team.
