UN Women – In July 2010, the United nations General Assembly created UN Women, the United Nations Entity for Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women. The creation of UN Women came about as part of the UN reform agenda, bringing together resources and mandates for greater impact.<\/p>\n
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. We are recruiting to fill the position below:<\/p>\n

Job Title:\u00a0<\/strong>Consultant – Development of a Gender Policy Background<\/strong> Nigeria is simultaneously a country of origin, transit and destination for all streams of migration and trafficking. According to the International Organization for Migration (IOM) Migration Profile (2009) and the World Bank remittances report on Nigeria (2010), the country\u2019s increasing out-migrating population ranges between 836,832 and 1,041,284. Although North America and Europe remain the largest receiving continents, countries within the ECOWAS sub-region also host a significant number of the migrant population from Nigeria. Beyond irregular migration, Nigeria also experiences several cases of trafficking. Women and children constitute the majority of those trafficked. A large proportion of poor women migrants and women trafficked to Europe, especially Italy, are from Nigeria and a growing number of those are trafficked into the sex sector.<\/p>\n It is against this background that the Government of Italy and UN Women have embarked on a partnership, through the 2-year Programme on Prevention of forced migration and trafficking in women and girls in Nigeria to support efforts by the Government of Nigeria aimed at preventing forced migration and trafficking of women and girls by supporting policy measures and community-based initiatives to foster an enabling environment for prevention and enhance the gender-responsiveness of protection services and reintegration support measures for returning trafficked victims\/survivors, building synergies with ongoing efforts of key partners, including the International Organization for Migration.<\/p>\n Within the context of Nigeria, through the development and approval of the National Gender Policy by the Federal Executive Council in 2006, gender is now recognized as an important policy issue demanding attention of all and sundry, including public and private institutions, local communities and law enforcement agencies.<\/p>\n In particular, given the paramount and pivotal role held by NAPTIP as custodian of the VAPP Act of 2015 and its mandate in tackling human trafficking, an effective gender policy in place within the Agency\u00a0 increases its operational effectiveness to deliver solutions to domestic and transnational issues such as human trafficking, considering the disproportionate numbers of victims are women and girls. The ongoing process of policy revision and formulation also presents an opportunity to ensure that NAPTIP\u2019s work is guided by a gender-responsive policy framework.<\/p>\n The\u00a0 UN Women project articulates its main goal through two main outcomes:<\/strong><\/p>\n To promote an enabling gender sensitive policy environment that addresses forced migration and trafficking, UN Women in close collaboration with NAPTIP wishes to engage a Consultant to support the drafting of a Gender Policy for NAPTIP.<\/p>\n Duties and Responsibilities<\/strong> Under the supervision of UN Women and NAPTIP team, and in close collaboration with the Federal Ministry of Women\u2019s Affairs, the national consultant will perform the following functions:<\/p>\n Task 1.
