Programme Analyst- For for Tunisian Nationals and Residents ONLY

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.

Through the combined objectives of the United Nations Security Council Resolutions 2250 and 1325, as well as under the peacekeeping program and the UN-Bank Pathways for Peace initiative, this project aims to maintain peace and strengthen social cohesion and resilience through the inclusion of marginalized young people at the local level in seven municipalities in southern Tunisia (Medenine, Tataouine, Remada, Gabes, Ben Guerdane, Zarzis and Ajim), paying particular attention to the needs of marginalized young women.

Designed as a "pilot" initiative, the project seeks to demonstrate the power to use an endogenous, resilience-based approach, and the imperative to engage with marginalized youth on the one hand, and to provide the required proof of concept that could lead the deepening and scaling up of the project across Tunisia on the other hand.

The project aims to enable young people to understand, identify and build on their own endogenous and community-based resilience sources, in a participatory and inclusive way, through youth-led projects on the one hand, and through joint development of youth-oriented or youth-sensitive projects as well as the development of strategies, programs and sustainable development initiatives at the municipal level, on the other hand.

In addition to these efforts, the project seeks to positively transform public attitudes and discourse about youth in the South through a concerted media engagement strategy. Taking advantage of the window of opportunity offered by the April 2018 municipal elections, the project supports the government's ongoing decentralization efforts, which offer the potential to re-articulate relations between the state and society. The project will develop "poles for peace and youth" at the municipal level, designed to give local councilors the means to play a leading role in promoting the coherence, collaboration and learning of local and national and international actors working in this field.

The Program and the Reporting Associate will work with the various partners that the agency supports, particularly the Ministries concerned through their local representations, local authorities, associations and UN agencies partners in this project as part of the implementation of the Program’s activities.

The creation of UN Women came about as part of the UN reform agenda, bringing together resources and mandates for greater impact. It merges and builds on the important work of four previously distinct parts of the UN system (DAW, OSAGI, INSTRAW, and UNIFEM), which focused exclusively on gender equality and women's empowerment.
