Mission and objectives
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. UNFPA’s new strategic plan (2018-2021), focuses on three transformative results: to end preventable maternal deaths, end unmet need for family planning, and end gender-based violence and harmful practices. In a world where fundamental human rights are at risk, we need principled and ethical staff, who embody these international norms and standards, and who will defend them courageously and with full conviction.
Context
UNFPA is actively implementing its 7th Country Programme 2023-2025 in Palestine, with a clear vision and focus to urgently accelerate the reduction of stagnated unmet needs for family planning, combat increasingly higher rates of gender-based violence and child marriage, whilst simultaneously returning to and sustaining earlier gains on maternal mortality. The United Nations Volunteer (UNV) Specialist will contribute to the attainment of UNFPA’s 7th programme cycle (2023-2025), including the 2023-2024 humanitarian response plan in Gaza.
