UN Women - Project Coordinator for EIDHR/2013/335-757?Preventing and addressing violence against women and girls in Albania" (part-time) - Tirana

UN Women has supported the National Government in developing policy framework for gender equality and fighting violence against women. It contributed to the development of the legal framework and tools to address violence against women. UN Women intends to implement activities and deliver assistance to the Albanian Government in addressing gender inequalities, discrimination and violence, in implementation of its international commitments and the National Strategy on Gender Equality and against Gender-Based and Domestic Violence (2011-2015). In this framework UN Women and the European Commission have launched a new joint programme on Preventing and Addressing Violence against Women and Girls. The programme, which will support initiatives by national institutions and civil society organizations in the country, is financed through a contribution from the European Instrument for Democracy and Human Rights (EIDHR) and will contribute to the overall goal of preventing and addressing violence against women and girls. More concretely in Albania the project will support the provision of services for the integration/reintegration of women victims/survivors of violence, primarily increasing their knowledge on economic opportunities, training them to become self-employed and providing start-up support for businesses. The programme is in line with the Memorandum of Understanding between the European Union and UN Women signed on 16 April 2012, which aims to consolidate, further develop and structure cooperation towards the shared goals of gender equality and women’s empowerment. The programme is in line with the UN Women Strategic Plan (SP), 2014-2017, i.e., Impact 3: Women and girls live a life free from violence.  Finally the program is in line also with the “Program of Cooperation 2012-2016” between the Government of Albania and the United Nations, Outcome 4.1: The rights of disadvantaged individuals and groups are equally ensured through legislation, inclusive policies, social protection mechanisms and special interventions, Output 4.1.5: Action taken at national and local level to implement improved legislative and policy framework on combating gender based violence. To this end, UN Women will need the services of a Project Coordinator to assist the National Programme Coordinator in the implementation of this Project. The Project Coordinator is expected to seat in the Ministry of Interior, and coordinate closely with the Office of National Coordinator for the Fight against Trafficking in Human beings. The Project Coordinator is expected to employ a collaborative approach to ensure that the different components are integrated and that inputs from as wide a cross section as possible are incorporated to facilitate successful implementation of the programme. He/she will be responsible for providing critical technical input into project implementation and management of the project.
