Joint Programme Manager - East Jerusalem

UNDP and UN Women have developed the Joint Programme, Strengthening the Rule of Law in the oPt: Justice and Security for the Palestinian People (2014-2017), with the aim of developing and maintaining conditions for a viable Palestinian state based on the rule of law and principles of gender equality. The Joint Programme, building on the experiences of each organization, will work to enhance the capacities of, and public confidence in, rule of law institutions, and strengthen access to justice, security and protection services, especially for women and girls. Interventions are designed with a view to sustainability and linking activities to ‘system-level’ policy development.   The Joint Programme builds on the achievements and findings of predecessor programmes: the UNDP Rule of Law & Access to Justice Programme in the oPt (2010-2014), the UNDP/EUPOL COPPS Joint Programme (2012-2014), and the UN Women Programme on Support for Delivery of Security and Justice Services for Women (2011-2014).

The Joint Programme rests on a supply and demand equation that combines enhanced service delivery by resilient justice and security institutions with the public’s ability to access such services and hold duty-bearers to account. By increasing public confidence in the sector, support is designed to be catalytic, strengthening state-society relations and creating an enabling environment for development. Interventions are informed by a coherent theory of change and characterised by flexibility and responsiveness to institutional changes as a result of political developments.

The Joint Programme is oriented around the following seven mutually reinforcing interventions:

Capacity of justice and security institutions strengthened and linkages forged;Civil society contribution to rule of law and community access to justice in the West Bank enhanced;Civil society contribution to the rule of law and community access to justice in the Gaza Strip enhanced;Gender responsiveness of justice, security and legislative actors strengthened;Women and girls access to justice and security improved by ensuring accountable service provision to prevent, protect and respond to violence, and by addressing their broader legal needs;Juvenile justice and adherence to child rights improved;Capacity of key actors and stakeholders to monitor progress and results in rule of law development increased.

To coordinate the Joint Programme and facilitate the implementation of the portfolios of the participating UN agencies, UNDP and UN Women wish to recruit a Joint Programme Manager.  The Joint Programme Manager will provide overall coordination for the work of UNDP and UN Women under the programme and will ensure a harmonized approach between the agencies for the realization of the programme outcomes and outputs.  The Joint Programme Manager will also be responsible for monitoring of and reporting against all Joint Programme activities.

The Joint Programme Manager will act as Secretariat to the Programme Board, which is responsible for providing strategic directions to the Programme Manager and approving annual work plans for the programme. The Joint Programme Manager will be under the direct supervision of the UNDP Team Leader for Governance and the UN Women Programme Coordinator, also responsible for providing quarterly updates to both the UNDP and UN Women management on the implementation of the programme, ahead of Programme Board meetings.
