UNDP is committed to achieving workforce diversity in terms of gender, nationality and culture. Individuals from minority groups, indigenous groups and persons with disabilities are equally encouraged to apply. All applications will be treated with the strictest confidence. UNDP does not tolerate sexual exploitation and abuse, any kind of harassment, including sexual harassment, and discrimination. All selected candidates will, therefore, undergo rigorous reference and background checks.   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. UN Women in Lebanon supports the government to implement commitments to international normative standards on gender equality and women's human rights. The Lebanon country office is working across the humanitarian-development-peace nexus, in alignment with the three development/ humanitarian frameworks in Lebanon 1)[ United Nations Sustainable Development Cooperation Framework (UNSDCF) 2023-2025](https://unsdg.un.org/sites/default/files/2022-11/UNSDCF_Lebanon_2023-2025.pdf), 2) the Lebanon Response Plan (LRP) 2024, which is a two-year humanitarian-stabilization framework (2024-2025), with annual planning, and 3) [the Lebanon Reform, Recovery and Reconstruction Framework (3RF)](https://www.worldbank.org/en/country/lebanon/publication/lebanon-reform-recovery-reconstruction-framework-3rf). UN Women Lebanon's Strategic Note for 2023-2025 is based on the 2022 Common County Analysis (CCA) and closely aligned with the UNSDCF for Lebanon and focuses on three of the UNSDCF priority areas (People, Prosperity and Peace and Governance) and three of thematic UN Women's global Strategic Plan (SP) impact areas: - Governance and Participation in Public Life - Women's Economic Empowerment - Women, Peace and Security and Humanitarian Action UN Women's SP 2022-2025 impact area three on Ending Violence against Women and Girls, is mainstreamed through UN Women Lebanon's work in the three impact areas. In addition, the Women Peace and Humanitarian Fund (WPHF), provides an important opportunity to address structural funding gaps for women's participation in peacebuilding and decision-making and to complement the ongoing work and streams of funding in Lebanon. It focuses on small and newly emerging independent CSOs targeting women and girls who are working on issues of peace, security and representation. The estimated population in Lebanon is 5.4 million among which 51% are women. Women are more likely to be food insecure and less likely to have legal residency (if they are refugees), savings, a bank account, extensive social networks beyond their family or access to social protection. Lebanon's laws largely discriminate against women who face more barriers than men in accessing justice. Female labour force participation in Lebanon stood at only 22 per cent in 2022. Combined, such vulnerabilities make women less resilient to shocks – all things that are critical to enabling individuals and families to respond to disasters. Lebanon was reclassified as a lower middle-income country in July 2022, the first time in 25 years. Economic challenges include exchange rate fluctuations, inflation, unemployment, low household incomes, and limited capacity of municipal authorities to deliver basic services. Following the outbreak of the conflict in Gaza in early October 2023, hostilities along the Blue Line in the Lebanese southern region have led to the displacement of tens of thousands of people. Under the supervision of the Country Representative, the Programme Management Specialist is responsible for managing the development, implementation, monitoring and reporting of programmes for the Lebanon CO, including providing technical support to the implementation of the Country Office programme, managing the monitoring and reporting for the Country Office, overseeing and guiding people and budget management for the programme team, building partnerships and providing support in developing resource mobilization strategies, and managing knowledge building efforts.   Duties and Responsibilities 1.
