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.

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. Ecuador's population grew from 15 million in 2010 to an estimated 17.5 million in 2020, with women representing 50.5% of the population. Urban areas show a slightly higher proportion of women, while rural areas have more men. Gender inequality has decreased marginally, as indicated by a reduction in the gender inequality index from 0.425 in 2010 to 0.383 in 2016, though it remains unchanged since. However, the socioeconomic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic have deepened poverty, particularly among rural and Indigenous women, and structural issues in the labor market persist, with only 30.4% of the economically active population employed under adequate conditions. The unequal distribution of care work continues to limit women's participation in the workforce and affects their income and social security access. Gender disparities extend to political representation and violence. While the 2019 Democracy Code reforms aim for gender parity in candidacies by 2025, women remain underrepresented in leadership roles, holding only 36% of seats in the National Assembly and less than 20% of prefectures. Political violence against women is widespread, often perpetuated by other political actors and exacerbated by online attacks. Furthermore, anti-gender rhetoric and violence against women's rights defenders, especially Indigenous activists, hinder progress on gender equality. The 2019 National Survey on Family Relations and Gender Violence found that 64.9% of women over 15 experienced violence, with Afro-Ecuadorian and Indigenous women facing the highest rates. Most incidents go unreported due to distrust in authorities, highlighting the need for systemic reforms. Violence against women remains a severe issue, with over 1,600 intentional homicides of women recorded between 2014 and 2022, including 585 femicide cases. During the pandemic, intimate partner violence surged, and emergency services reported 398 domestic violence cases daily in 2021.

Description Do you want to build a career that is truly worthwhile? Working at the World Bank provides a unique opportunity for you to help our clients solve their greatest development challenges. The World Bank consists of two entities – the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD) and the International Development Association (IDA). It is a global development cooperative owned by 189 member countries. As the largest development bank in the world, the World Bank provides loans, guarantees, risk management products, and advisory services to middle-income and creditworthy low-income countries, and coordinates responses to regional and global challenges. Visit www.worldbank.org The Health, Nutrition and Population (HNP) Global Practice The central contribution of the HNP Global Practice to the World Bank's twin goals is to enable the achievement of Universal Health Coverage (UHC), in which all people are effectively covered by essential health services, and nobody suffers undue financial hardship because of illnesses. In the quest for UHC, the HNP Global Practice is building on progress made in the framework of the Millennium Development Goals, an array of analytical and advisory services, strategic partnerships with partner institutions and other financing agencies, and an active lending portfolio. The HNP Global Practice includes staff members in Washington, DC, and many country offices. The HNP Global Practice is led by a Global Director, who has overall responsibility for the GP. The HNP Global Practice works with and across multiple sectors, in recognition of the fact that HNP outcomes often depend on actions that lie outside the HNP sector. Accordingly, a capacity to work across GP boundaries, forge coalitions and influence multi-practice solutions are essential for achieving the major objectives of improving HNP outcomes. Global Financing Facility Context The global community has made considerable progress over the past 25 years in improving the health and well-being of women, children, and adolescents. Rates of preventable death have dropped significantly in many countries and improvements have been seen across a range of key measures of health and well-being. But the progress has not been enough: too many women, children, and adolescents have been left behind, dying and suffering from preventable conditions, in considerable part because of a large financing gap, estimated at US$33 billion annually. The Global Financing Facility (GFF) embodies the world's commitment to ensuring that all women, children and adolescents can survive and thrive. Launched in 2015, the GFF is squarely focused on prioritizing and scaling up evidence-driven investments to improve reproductive, maternal, newborn, child and adolescent health and nutrition in the world's most vulnerable countries through targeted strengthening of service delivery systemsto save lives and as a critical step toward achieving Universal Health Coverage (UHC) and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The GFF has pioneered a country-driven, collaborative model for global health linked to sustainable financing and results. At the core of GFF's model is the development and implementation of a government-led, prioritized and costed national investment case that lays out the pathway to scaling up universal access to a basic package of reproductive, maternal, newborn, child and adolescent health and nutrition services along with critical health financing and system reforms to accelerate progress toward UHC. By facilitating multistakeholder country platforms, the GFF supports its partner governments to mobilize and align both domestic and external funding behind national investment case priorities. The GFF approach also enables other global health partners to achieve more by working better together and by empowering countries to lead. The GFF responds to developing countries' long-lasting call for global partners to align once and for all behind their national health plans and prioritiesfostering a permanent shift in the global health and development assistance paradigm. The GFF partnership is led by the GFF Director; the day-to-day management of the GFF team is the responsibility of the GFF Practice Manager. The GFF secretariat, which is based at the World Bank and is situated in the HNP Global Practice, works to deliver on the GFF objectives. This includes working with countries to develop quality investment cases, managing the GFF Trust Fund, technical assistance to regional teams, and support to the GFF Investors Group, the governance mechanism for the GFF. Position introduction: The position will work directly with the Head of the GFF Secretariat to lead the development and implementation of GFF strategies and policies, including strategy and policy formulation, their resourcing and the mobilization of the GFF Secretariat to ensure their implementation. The overall objectives for this position are to: • Ensure that the GFF has strategies and policies that are fit for purpose which are developed and updated as needed through an inclusive process, that are adequately resourced and that GFF Secretariat staff and external stakeholders are mobilized to deliver. Duties & Responsibilities: Strategy • Lead strategy development and implementation function of the GFF, including identifying and addressing strategic questions that will arise during the implementation of the strategy • Provide strategic and timely advice to GFF leadership and secretariat on development trends or sensitive issues, including reputational risk issues and/or strategic positioning opportunities • In coordination with the GFF external relation lead, act as a liaison between GFF and World Bank global units who work on issues relevant to the GFF mandate to ensure strategic alignment • Mobilize the GFF Secretariat for the consistent delivery of the strategy, working closely with other members of the GFF Leadership Team, notably colleagues responsible for program delivery and for results monitoring.
