The Position:Over the past year, the Prevention of Sexual Exploitation and Abuse (PSEA) Network in Afghanistan has made steady progress, guided by the collaborative efforts of the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) and the International Medical Corps (IMC), on behalf of the United Nations Country Team (UNCT) and Humanitarian Country Team (HCT). The Network now connects over 300 organizations, including UN agencies, NGOs, and civil society groups, with more than 500 trained focal points, 45 percent of whom are women. It works to protect communities from exploitation and abuse while ensuring dignity and respect in humanitarian settings. Regional sub-working groups established in the North, South, Central, and West regions provide direct community engagement and localized responses. A major achievement has been the introduction of the Sexual Exploitation and Abuse Risk Overview (SEARO) tool, which identifies SEA risks across Afghanistan, guiding targeted and evidence-based interventions. Equally important, the Network also ensures that aid workers operate in a safe and supportive environment with Zero Tolerance for Sexual Harassment (SH), emphasizing the dual responsibility of protecting communities and safeguarding the humanitarian and BHN workforce.

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 Pacific region is among the most vulnerable in the world to the effects of climate change and natural disasters, with the region frequently hit by tropical cyclones, floods, droughts and earthquakes.
